Musical accompainment varies with the character of the brotherhood. Some processions are silent, with no musical accompainment, some have a cappella coirs or wind quartets, however most of them have a drum and trumpet band behind the image of Christ and a brass band behind the Virgin playing religious hymns or marchas from a standard repertoire. Those associated with the images of Christ are often funereal in nature, whilst those associated with the Virgin are more celebratory. You can watchan listen a few popular bands on the video).
As each procession leaves its home church, (an event known as the “salida” - see TVSpain video), at its return (“entrada”), and along the march route, extemporaneous flamenco-style songs may be offered by individuals in the crowd or from a balcony. These songs are generically called “saetas” (arrows). In times gone by they were spontaneous, the singer so overcome with emotion that only a flourish of flamenco will be enough to convey their emotions. Today, they are invariably preplanned. The procession will stop and listen to the song until it is over. You can watch a “saeta” in the beginning of this video.
La Legión (Spanish Foreign Legion) takes part in the procession. It’s similar to the French Foreign Legion, and it is also stationed in Northern Africa, to guard the outpost cities of Ceuta and Melilla. They have a very good band featured on the video. All of the legionnaires are extremely fit. They are very strong and you could see their arm muscles rippling under their green military outfits with short sleeves. The legionnaires are extremely entertaining and the people of Malaga have a love affair with them. You can watch them on the video performing a famous song “Soy el novio de la muerte” (I am the bride of death ).
