Ricardo -> RE: Soniquete, Aire, What's the Diff?.... (Mar. 19 2009 6:21:21)

Soniquete is the groove feeling. Not just the beat and the meter, but the spaces in between, the way it might swing, etc. So rhythm specific feeling.
Aire is the atmosphere that the music creates, like Taranta has a certain aire in the way the chords sound, regardless of the rhythm you put to it. Rondeña has an obvious special "aire", but there are some pieces in the key of D# phrygian where the guitarist can create the "aire" of Rondeña without the tuning. Playing bulerias in some key other than por medio, might create a special "aire"....for example in G# phrygian you might have the "aire" of Minera with your chords and melodies....even though the compas might be say Bulerias. Or perhaps it is all major and has the happy "aire" of Alegrias.
To use the term to describe someones playing or performing singing, etc (he has "aire"), you refer to the nice "vibe" or atmosphere that the artist creates.
And rhythm can create "aire" too. With a certain soniquete, you can create the "aire" of jerez, just with palmas and jaleos. Or you could interpret a tangos with a certain rhythmic feel, that creates the "aire" of Rumba. And vice versa. Even some Rumba can have little remates and things that give the "aire" of buleria. Hope that makes sense.
