ORIGINAL: cathulu Many thanks, I will take a look at Guajiras de Lucia and see what Paco is doing. By Pharaon chords I was thinking of the Gypsy Kings rumba of the same name, and not egyptian music. Thanks again. It's perhaps not very good idea taste wise....but musically you just need to think about introducing DORIAN mode into pharaon tonic (Bminor) to invoke the scale/key/ of guajiras. I focus attention here on B (versus say the E minor chord going to mixolydian) because of rhythm and tonic. meanwhile...if you think cante, we use the F# taranta type chord to harmonize the voice in the middle of the letra...and it's borrowed from pharaon [:D] The nice things in guajiras that have a "dark" flavor, are usually D melodic minor stuff (F natural, g natural, the rest A major notes.) The second chord in Pharaon, coincidentally, can be played as a G7, and the same scale used but we call it G lydian dominant. And thus we find a specific kinship between the two songs.
