In flamenco, a collection of verses are generally textually unrelated and this is usually true of the verse and the following juguetillo.” Mirabrás is a song related to the alegría, the romera and the caracoles. Its name comes, like the caracoles, from a refrain: “mira y verás” (look and see) = mira-brás. It is a flamenco adaptation of the songs popularized in Cádiz by the Liberal Courts and of the first liberal constitution of 1812. Its lyrics proclaim liberalism and independence from the king.
