RE: Ricardo Fernandez del Moral (in reply to Nito)
He used to acompany a friend of mine on the guitar. Good player, great voice but I agree with Ricardo, many times seems like something is missing. So difficult to sing and play at the same time
RE: Ricardo Fernandez del Moral (in reply to Ricardo)
Sometimes we speak about solea in generic mode.
But if you sing differents styles of solea (triana, alcala, cadiz,) on the same "cante", in my opinion it should be called "soleares" instead of "solea". But I think nowadays we usually use "solea". :-)
On the basis that everyone knows it's so difficult to sing and play at the same time (especially on "palos a compas")....I think this man is....different?

You are correct that you may call the performance Soleares, and can enforce your opinion by doing so, but you can't really say it is "NOT" solea.

"Solea" and "soleares" are used interchangeably. There is no difference. They both refer to the same palo.

IMO distinguish between solea and soleares could be logic...although nowadays everyone called solea.
Logic applied to a traditional art form? Ehhhh, I would avoid that. Here's an example:
Buleria cante has half compases all the time. There is no reason logically to keep 12's for Solea as the structure is the exact same, just a slower speed. So I should be able to cut compas all the time for solea and Alegria too....guess what any or all singers will say about your compas?
