duende -> First date with the bailora (Mar. 31 2005 18:01:38)

HI.
I have now met with the dancer for the first time.
She was very easy going and nice. We seem to get along very well.
She said -Do you want to do a solea? and i said hell yeah!! and then we went to work.
She showed me some stepps she liked to have in a llamada and we worked on that.
We only met for an hour this time so that was all we did.
I found it easy to talk about the music with her, even though she doesn´t know guitar playing
she was a big help in "musical direction" and she said she liked my playing.
Im a hugh cante fanatic so it´s fun to get to play with the syncopations and stuff the you get with a dancer, It´s like another leve added to the whole thing.
Next we´ll met is the 10th of april. My birthday.


[:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]

Anyway good for you! You've found someone to practise with and you'll just get better as time goes by, unlike me.. [:(]

Enjoy yourself!
Cheers,

If you practice you´ll get better. If you don´t have people to play with go for technique and knowledge of palos (styles) also do a LOT of listening.

When you finaly met somone do play with Guitarist or dancer it will be a very good thing to at least know the basic chords to Peteneras for example and also to know a few recorded ones.

I can recomend anything by Camarón with Paco de lucia on guitar from 1960-the 1970´s. The recordings with Tomatio and camarón are also a "must".
Try to find some older stuff too like Antonio Mairena.. or Perla de cadiz. Manuel Torre if you can stand the quality of the sound.[:D]

Hi Henrik,
Glad that you like the experience of playing with a dancer ; that must be very rewarding, after so many years of playing alone to see your music taking form in the movements of a dancer.
Well, it seems a new door has openned for you...new horizon...
All the best
Antonio

Hi dancedudes

I just saw on elflamencovive.com that they are selling some of their dance videos for 2,5 Euros a piece until they are sold out.

Some of them are good and give a lot of ideas on how the dance works.



duende -> RE: First date with the bailora (Apr. 19 2005 16:49:52)

I´ll check it out. Thanx!!.
