Hola The 3 finger rasgeo, played with an upstroke on i to give 4 strokes is straight contratiempo: 1 and 2 and etc. I suspect it comes from dance accompaniment. Sometimes it fits the cante well, but too much is boring. It is just a fad. The 4 finger rasgeado, played with an upstroke to give 5 notes, gives a completely different feel because the notes cross the rhythm and, in my opinion, goes much better with cante: I use it all the time. But real flamenco guitarists have myriads of rasgeos. Try a 2 finger rasgeo, with upstroke, giving a 3 stroke rasgeo, one per beat: play this rasgeo on 7,8,9 and a strong downstroke on 10. There is a whole world of rasgeados out there waiting! Sean
