Morante -> RE: Question about compas (Jul. 22 2014 9:45:18)

The difference is "soniquete" a word hard to translate, but akin to "feel". Soleá por bulerías is not bulerías: if you play soleá thinking of alegrías you get soniquete of sol por bul. And alegrías sounds nothing like soleá for the same reason, though it may sound like sol por bul, played in a major key and with a completely different style of cante. Alegrías is usually accompanied in C, with the usual chord changes. Caracoles is also played in C and can be at the same speed, yet sounds different, because the cante is different. Cantiñas, (romeras, mirabrás etc) of which alegrías is a variant, are usually accompanied in E, but can be accompanied in C (or any other major key. They do not sound like alegrías, nor do they sound like each other. The speed is the same, the compás is the same, the cante is different.
