Adjacent

A lot of Spanish music is flamenco-adjacent. In other words, it can be flamenquified easily.  Take "Anda jaleo." (Please take it.) There are constant flamenco versions of it, though it is a popular song, not part of the flamenco repertoire (originally). 

It is interesting that I am unable to find any trace of "Anda jaleo" before Lorca. In some sense, it is Lorca's song, though I'm sure he did not write it.
