español term

corta (voz)

español al inglés Arte/Literatura Música
Limited range???

Su cante se basa en su flamenquismo fascinante. Aunque su voz es corta y afillá, su donaire, su jondura y compás son verdaderamente subyugadores para el aficionado. Maestro de las alegrías y los cantes de El Mellizo, también borda la soleá en distintas vertientes.
Proposed translations (inglés)
1 +3 small/weak
5 narrow register

OK, suerte, debe de ser dif�cil traducir todo esto :-)

Just found a reference to his voice being "faint" in English...

As afillá es rough, the narrow register fits perfectly.Also \"limited range\" is also very good.
