They are popular and sung by a variety of artists. Every year, dozens of new sevillanas discs are published. Generally speaking, sevillanas are very light and happy music.

Though sevillanas have a relatively limited musical pattern, they have rich lyrics, based on country side life, virgins, towns, neighborhoods, pilgrimage and, of course, love themes. They are popular and sung by a variety of artists. Every year, dozens of new sevillanas discs are published. Sevillanas can be heard in southern Spain, mainly, in fairs and festivals, including the famous Feria de Sevilla ("Seville Fair"). There is an associated dance for the music: "baile por sevillanas", consisting of four different parts. One can find schools teaching "baile por sevillanas" in nearly every town in Spain. Generally speaking, sevillanas are very light and happy music.
