Bulerias in E

I cannot think of any Bulerias by famous people in E, there seems to be loads of more possibilities than the usual A, could anyone point me towards a modern recording of such, also why is there never any solo Alegriases in C, the Cante key
Cheers
Dave

Why do we use QWERTY?

BB,

I never heard PdL's Luzia CD, but I think someone told me that there was a Buleria in E. Moraito's Encuentro Video also has one. I've heard quite a few Bulerias recently being accompanied in E (it seems to be becoming popular) and personally I don't like the sound.

I haven't been listening to much solo guitar for the past several years, but PdL's 'Almoraima' has an Alegria in C (it's listed as a 'cantina' but it's the same thing). So I'm sure there's more out there.

BTW, until recently most Alegrias were accompanied in E (except in Cadiz) and today it still is about 50% of the time. So, although I understand what you mean, you really can't say that C is the cante key. What's really rare nowadays is to see someone playing it in A, which used to be quite common, but I've heard that it's starting to make a comeback.

Checkout the opening bulerias in Saura's Flamenco. Moraito accompanying, it kicks off in A but then drops down to E when the male cantaor comes in (can't remember his name).

Why would there be more possibilities in E?

Buleria in E is mostly for the cante de Jerez style in my view i think it works nice to change the tone and mood to a lighter sound ( eg > the way Guadiana sang it at the end of " Flamenco Women " if i remember correctly)

but for my taste i only like to hear it one or two letras at the most in e at the end of a buleria in a.

btw. if you havent noticed allready i am no doctor at this , this are just personal observations and taste.

Hey Florian,
Have you been on a spelling course or something?

maybe not more but differant, with falsetas played up the neck, same reason I think Solea in E has more possibilities, than in A.

There is a common variation of bulerias frequently sung by singers from Jerez where they add E7 into the por medio bulerias progression.

He doesn't just add in an E7 into the por medio progression, he switches to por arriba. It changes from A phrygian to E phrygian.
