quote:
I don't know but are these cante abandolaos like soleares? I mean i really have difficulty to recognize a solea de Alcala from a solea de Triana from one of Lebrija etc... Meaning it is hard to distinguish when they get mixed, unless they are charted out as on Norman's site. Yeah it is not easy, and as an accompanist it is not so important to be able put each in a proper box, so long as you can accompany them properly. Some singers will mix parts of each style, but usually the forms are the same (see norman's abc or abcd concepts of the letra structures for solea) once you have the right "family" of cantes. I think if you are truely interested not just for accompanying but to really understand the differences for each cante in a family, learn how to sing some of them. Then the differences jump out very clearly. You don't have to sing them to BE a singer, but just to understand the details of the melody. I am surprised that many aficionados still can't tell the difference between a granaina and a malagueña when they get mixed by a singer. But if you could sing one or the other, it is obvious which is which. Compas is more secondary actually, as you can have any cante levante in compas of 2 for baile for example, or fandango por solea which used to be popular and is done a lot in rito y geografia. Hearing a fandango por solea, then a Jabera, then a Caña or Polo, it could seem by rhythm and chording they all belong to the same family but actually deserve separate places, not just because of compas.
