Titles of Nobility Amendment
The
Titles of Nobility Amendment is a proposed amendment to the
United States Constitution. It was approved by the
11th Congress on May 1, 1810, and submitted to the
state legislatures for ratification. It would strip United States citizenship from any citizen who accepted a title of nobility from a foreign country. On two occasions between 1812 and 1816 it was within two states of the number needed to become a valid part of the Constitution. Congress did not set a time limit for its ratification, so the amendment is still pending before the states. Ratification by an additional 26 states is needed for this amendment to be
adopted.
Tonás
Tonás is the name given to a
palo or type of
flamenco songs. It belongs to the wider category of
Cantes a palo seco, that is,
palos which are sung without accompaniment or
a cappella. Owing to this feature, they are considered by traditional
flamencology to be the oldest surviving
musical form of flamenco. The first flamenco singer known in history, Tío Luis el de la Juliana, who lived in
Jerez de la Frontera in the last third of the 18th century was said to have excelled in this
palo.

TONA
(SONG FORM. CANTE JONDO) From the word Tonada, meaning tune or popular song. They are widely believed to be the earliest flamenco song forms. Included in this group are the MARTINETES (songs of the blacksmiths), CARCELERAS (songs of the prisoners), DEBLA (of obscure origin) and perhaps even an early form of Siguiriyas. Tonas are song-stories that were neither played of danced. They were sung 'a palo seco', which means unaccompanied except perhaps with the rhythmic beating of a palo (stick) on the ground. In the case of the Martinetes, the song would be accompanied by the sound of a blacksmith's hammer striking an anvil.
