Haydn -> Favourite Soleá (Aug. 27 2011 21:42:32)

I thought it might be fun if everyone shared their favourite soleá. I recently heard Paco Peña's Acerca Del Río, ( ) and was blown away by the smooth, cascading ligado runs. It inspired me not only to attempt to learn it, but piqued my curiosity: what is everyone else digging at the moment?

Post a video, or link, of your current fave, (or even better one of you playing it), and an explanation of why you're into it.

Maybe it'll uncover a few relatively unknown gems to us beginning flamencos, too. [8|]

Haydn, thank for posting that Paco Peña soléa, I realy liked it.

I'm currently quite fascinated with Paco de Lucía's Soléa called Gloria al niño ricardo from the siroco album.

and also this one :-) the ending is so groovy



KMMI77 -> RE: Favourite Soleá (Aug. 27 2011 23:33:40)

I don't have a favorite but there are two i find most inspiring at the moment.

First is Mano a Mano form Pascual Gallo's CD Emma. I like the aire of pascual gallo and that the structure is traditional. He has a way of making something i've heard a thousand times sound fresh again.

Second is the video below. Lots to work on in this one.

I love the aire of solea and dramatic pauses and "ancientness" in it, so for PURO
my favorite is the Moron style by diego del gastor:


as for moderno: I find Diego del Morao really emotional and dark:

In my opinion that's a Solea por bulerias. The aire and the strumming is that of solea por bulerias, as is the tempo. It also fails to quote anything related to traditional soleares IMO.



kudo -> RE: Favourite Soleá (Aug. 28 2011 3:03:48)

it might have the rhythmic spb feel but its still is a solea. yes, ofcourse thats why its moderno and not puro traditional [:)]

Thanks for the explanation[:)] Bambera, Caña, Solea, Solea por bulerias, All the same thing with modern flamenco guitar solos. Just add the name.

We talked loads about this issue a while back. There is a cante called Buleria por solea, and then you have different kinds of solea from different regions and individuals. The Solea style in Jerez was always accompanied a bit quicker and often por medio. I blame dancers for inventing the term "solea por buleria" to differ it from the feel and key of Solea that they like to dance that uses Alcala melody.

So Jerezanos tend to interpret Solea always as solea por bulerias as we think of it nowadays, but to THEM it was always simply the way they like to play Solea. Also you will notice a trend to do super fast Siguirya a la Piriñaca, also from jerez, vs siguiriyas from other regions will be slower.

So don't get all scared if some one calls it Solea. But the WEIRD thing about Diego's piece is it is por Rondeña. Gerardo did the same thing with Cigala on Jucal....and Gerardo is also from Jerez! [;)]

So you are also correct. To be most clear, he should have called his Solea "Buleria por Solea en tono de Rondeña de Ramon Montoya"[:D]

Oh my favorite Solea cante is Platero's version in Rito y Geografia...the guy was unknown to me at first hearing and he blew my mind...and I still like it. For baile, Farruco sr and nieto in the first Flamenco movie of Saura, and for guitar I like Paco's Plaza Alta, the way it builds is very intense.

On some of the old cassettes i have Bulerias por solea was a popular title. From memory they were often titled this when played por arriba and titled solea por bulerias when played por medio. Not sure if it was just coincidence or not? But if key was any motivation for deciding on the title solea por bulerias or bulerias por solea, The modern use of many keys has thrown a spanner in the works[:D][:D]



xirdneH_imiJ -> RE: Favourite Soleá (Aug. 28 2011 10:57:24)

and it's not even a proper rondeña tuning as it's DADF#AD!

it's definitely a favorite of mine, along with Gerardo's Soleá de la Luna Coja, and Paco's La Villa Vieja...

Really? Cool didn't notice that, so not really from montoya then either.



henrym3483 -> RE: Favourite Soleá (Aug. 28 2011 22:37:23)

rafael riqueni's solea a canales, superb, just love the whole composition.




and Morao's solea bronce

Not that weird. Niño Miguel recorded a bulería in rondeña tuning back in the ’70s.

Paco de lucia's solea in teatro real live.

withinity -> RE: Favourite Soleá (Oct. 17 2013 5:07:18)

Not sure about favorite but the vintage recording quality sound and tone of the guitar comes across very 'Raw' to me in this Soleares by Carlos Montoya.
