Pimientito -> RE: What makes this a Buleria? (Jan. 4 2013 9:40:23)

quote:
Solea, Siguiriyas, Alegrias, no problem, but Buleria I have never understood. All the twelve beat forms are related. If you can play Alegrias then you can and probably have been playing Bulerias. The main difference is the key of the music. This piece is a bulerias because its counted 12,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. Its more difficult to hear in this song because 1. Its played in A minor so the chords dont change in the same place that you would expect in A phrygian. 2. This is played at a very slow tempo indeed and its hard initially to hear the compas. 3. He is not keeping strict compas. Some of the phrasing is stretched to match the song and there are some half compas added. Its an older style of playing and nowadays Flamenco musicians tend to keep more strict compas in Bulerias wheras Solea, Siguirilla and Farruca can have more free timing.
