Peteneras

Hello everyone, I just wanted to let you know what happened the last few days regarding a peteneras that I play. Well, I sent Paul Bruhns, via email, a peteneras that I play. He listened to it and wrote me back, sending me some samples, and also, recording with his OWN VOICE (which was cool to hear him talking to me) and explained to me how to actually play this palo. He showed me and TOLD me where I was missing a key ingrediant in my playing of this palo. I can't explain what he did for me, but, my point of this post is, Paul's advice and his seemingly genuine interest of my music, and his explainations REALLY helped me TONS!! He talked to me on his recording like we were in the same room! I really think that this approach to teaching could be very beneficial if more of us would do what Paul did for me. He took the time out in his life for someone that does not even know me, recorded himself and peteneras examples of his playing, and teaching me what I could do to make a better sounding palo. The approach that Paul took while corresponding with me, by actually talking in person to me on his recordings and feedback to me, was probably the best lesson a person could get that is 1,000 miles away! Now, that is the way to teach! And, to Paul, I give my thanks! That was way to cool! That was a lesson I will always remember! Thanks again, Merle

I have heard several Peterneras´around here, one at a Misa Flamenco in Triana. It´s a nice palo, containing what my teacher says is the essence of flamenco, in a very direct way. But most of the time around here you just hear solea, bulerias, siguriyas, alegrias, tangos. It´s a bit monotonous, there is so much flamenco out there I would like to see more variety live. On Friday in Triana, some guys from Jerez came and played an hour just of bulerias! Even our bulerias-lovers were feeling a bit shell shocked after that one.
