ORIGINAL: ZaidRockso Yeah i was referring to the latter, what hapenned was i was practicing bulerias slowly and i was doing the tapado before starting, i found myself doing it almost exactly the same as alegrias which confused me since the accents were same. It Didn't occur to me that bulerias can't be played slow, but yes it makes sense, thanks a bunch Ramzi! Simple answer is that buleria is better expressed in 6's like the palmas. Otherwise it's ok to be confused if the tempo is the same for both, because they are the same rhythm exactly. The complex answer is that you can do a specific rhythm pattern for alegrias (tapao), for example: amii amii i+golpe i(accent up stroke), space, i up, space, iup, i+ golpe i up, amii i+golpe i up (rest) pai-p up, i down (space) m down i + golpe. What that does is express with rasgueado (amii) the counts 1-3, also 7-8, the abanico accents & 10, and last golpe the 12. While this pattern could also express solea x buleria, or buleria, there would normally be different and better things to do, reserving what I wrote above as one specific "alegria only" pattern. hope that helps.
