quote:
La Macarena also has her own drum and bugle music played by the corps which marches with her. Before the procession turns into the Calle Sierpes, nearing the Catedral, you hear the band and the drums and bugles approaching. La Macarena pauses in the the Calle Sierpes for a saeta to be sung to her. The drum and bugle music is often heard on recordings of saetas.
Twice in the 1960s and once in 1982, I attended concerts by Carlos Montoya. Carlos always played his version of Saeta, with the drum and bugle music performed on the guitar alone. He accomplished the effect of the drum by crossing the fifth string over the sixth, holding them in that position with the left hand, and with his right hand performing a modified rasgueo that had the tempo and sound of a snare drum. The bugle effect was accomplished on the trebles. It really sounded nice and was always a crowd-pleaser.

Well, Faustino Nuñez says:
quote:
La jota tiene un rítmica muy particular que se trasvasaron al flamenco en forma de patrones que se usan una y otra vez. Sin embargo fue en lo melódico y armónico (en los acordes de la guitarra) donde ha dejado una huella más profunda, en las cantiñas nominadas alegrías. En la melodía flamenca la jota dejó su marca en el cante por alegrías, que adaptó muchas melodías joteras, mientras se fundían con el aire de los jaleos gaditanos. Las alegrías no son otra cosa que jotas adaptadas al compás de la soleá al golpe, aflamencando la melodía cantable y con aire bailable.
He underlines this with:
this audio clip
Which sounds convincing enough to me (but of course I'm no expert)
At best it starts like buleria de Cadiz, then diverges a lot. “Dicen que van a poner...” matches the opening melody, then it’s really different. But non of the 3 Alegrias melodies nor cantiñas “tiri tiri tran tran”, “cuando andando...” etc, romeras “zarzamora”, mirabras, pinini, Alegrias de Cordoba “preguntale platero”, caracoles.... non of that stuff is even close IMO.
