Name that ras! (Vicente Amigo)

...in Tio Arango, at around 4.16 Vicente rounds off his solea with that lovely chord progression which I just have to steal, and a very cleanly defined continuous ras.

Any of you clever chaps say with some certainty what combo he uses?

Doesn't sound like a straight CAMI (all down) roll to me, and I can't hear it in threes so I ruled out abanico (triplet ras)... then I thought maybe its just I up and down but it sounds all down

Any ideas?

Jon

My copy's out on loan so I can't listen, but if it's the res. I think you're referring too, it's:

a m i (all down) i (up) a m i (all down) i (up) i(down) i (up) ... 10 beats all equal time and articulated.

Cheers
Jim.
