Golpe is when we tap guitar or the dancer stomps foot so...in flamenco it refers to percussion. "palo seco" is an other term that refers to music that is percussion only, no guitar. Dancers tell guitarists "a tapao" meaning to do a muted strum which is also called by GUITARISTS "apagado" refering to the technique of doing that. So the cante refers to doing cante with no guitar, por buleria but slow "Buleria al golpe"....some also refer to this as "solea al golpe". If the guitar is used to accompany the cante it is called "Buleria por Solea" although, in modern times we often call it "Solea por buleria"...but for sure the letras used are mainly "Buleria corta" and "Buleria Larga" as per Mairena's definitions. So to keep it clear, Buleria al golpe=buleria por solea but with no guitar, as palo seco. Now I take a brief moment to agree and sound like Estela, the term is also used by foreign guitar players mainly to describe the old school style of buleria strumming with the up tap tap, up tap tap, etc, type feel a la Sabicas, Diego del Gastor ,etc . So in that sense it is just a guitar thing. But if josele is using it too, then I guess just like "solea por buleria" caught on as other terms described above, it is general modern way to describe old school buleria soniquete. I need to hear the track to understand why he labels it that way, but hopefully it applies as ONE of the above. EDIT...just listened to his track....he and palmeros are simply doing buleria as normal guitar solo...dancer footwork too normal. The "al golpe" refers to the percussion of the cajon which marks only in 3, but affects the overall sound. But it's not real important to have labeled it that way IMO, "buleria" is fine. Similarily Guadiana is from Extremadura and bulerias extremeños is often called "jaleos". So I would not have had a problem if they called this Jaleo either, its just kind of fast. (On Almoraima Paco has two buleria, but labels one "jaleo" and it is not that big a deal to have been so definitive that they are different IMO, and indeed live he mixes the same falsetas together).
