To the untrained ear, this is bulerias. To the "trained" one, it's not. I hope Kudo is feeling very generous... Omar: The MOST important thing about flamenco is COMPAS. You clearly do NOT understand the compas of buleria. We haven't heard you play other palos, and buleria being one of the more "difficult" ones, I am not going to generalize to flamenco altogether. However, when it comes to buleria, you need to slow WAY down, and learn the compas and the compas cycles from scratch. You need to start with WAY easier falsetas, not Paco de Lucia's material. Your technique also needs work, but that is NOT the core of the problem. This might SOUND like flamenco, but it's NOT. It needs a good deal of work to get up to par... Do NOT despair though - we all start out somewhere. It's a shame though that you've been playing for 8 years now, and you're still at this level. You need to find yourself a good teacher, or a good set of DVDs, and get back to the basics. Set the metronome at 120 or 140, and learn buleria at THAT tempo. Better yet, keep buleria aside for a bit, and start out with easier stuff, compas wise, like maybe solea, or tango, or the likes... If you have the right mindset, you'll be able to unlearn what you've learned incorrectly, and get things going. It's going to need a lot of patience though because you haven't been playing for only a few months... Cheers!
