El Tempul Am falseta
Hi All,
In my mind, I remember a long time ago to hear Paco play he famous A minor falseta from El tempul Bulerias in a Tangos, the theme from that falseta ofcourse. I cannot find it anywhere, and think now my mind is playing tricks with me. Do any of you know if Paco or anybody else used the theme in a tangos?
Thanks Rob! It is not what I ment, in my mind it was the same theme, but suited to fit into a Tangos. Thanks for taking the time to think about ik and post the Tango from Moraito. Long time not heared..

Well, it is hard to imagine what you mean exactly because the A minor bulerias as a tonality concept translates to Tangos like something closer to Farruca. In this regard Paco doesn’t have any thing. If instead we think of going to relative minor key, the only thing I can think of is when Paco uses the Las Grecas “Estoy A mando loco menti” which moves to D minor, but other wise is what he uses also for Entre Dos Aguas beginning section on the same album.
