My how you've changed![:D] (avatar) Bulerías and siguiriyas can be very "aggressive" as you say, even some soleás. I don't mean to be picky, but there are better words than "aggressive," although no adjectives come to mind right now. The styles I mentioned sometimes express the frustration and rage that come from certain situations in life for which there is no solution. This one has angry words but sounds happy (Florian, you're going to like this one). Bulería sung by Manuel Torre: Te voy a dar una puñalada, que la mano a la boca, no te la puedas llevar. I'm going to stab you so bad that you won't even be able to cover your mouth with your hand ++++++++++++++++++++++ This one has angry words and he really sounds angry. Very angry! Soleá sung by Antonio Mairena: Como no puedo vengarme de lo que has hecho conmigo, hablaré con Undebel para que te mande un castigo. Since I can't get revenge for what you did to me I'm going to talk to Undebel and he's going to punish you +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Siguiriya sung by Antonio Mairena: A la muerte yo llamo y no quiere venir, que hasta la muerte tiene compañera, lástima de mí. I'm calling out to death and death doesn't want to come Even death feels sorry for me
