Can't answer but do you rate this device?

Hi Andy!

Tarantas has no steady ritme, it is played very freely.

Some parts fits in 4/4, but a while further, the ritme chances.

So, a metronome has no use. sorry, I can give just one advise,

Go with the flow, let your feeling set the rithme, and enjoy it!

Andy:

I play a pretty basic Tarant"o" and I do it in 4/4 rhythm. I used a metronome to ingrain the tempo that I thought worked best for me. I set it at 126 or 132 BPM. After a few weeks, I never needed it again.

This is a palo that gets NO AIR TIME here in the DC area, if you know what I mean, and if I ask someone to play one, they can usually get through about 30 seconds of one, and then they forget how it goes...hahaha!

Now, also as for doing it as a dance accompanyment, the dancer might want it faster and or slower in spots, but I would definitely practice it as 4/4 time.

Regards,
Paul

Hi Andy,
I don't have any knowledge of notation and could never figure out what these fractions are ment to mean. In Taranto, the feel is for 4 beats if this helps.
Cheers
Jim.

Hi Peter,
There are two forms, Taranta as you say is 'toque libre', but Taranto, is set to a 4 beat Compas, I think just a invention to let dancers in on the fun.
Cheers
Jim.

Hi Jim.

I did not know that, thanks!

Never too old to learn!

Thanks, Peter.

Jim, Peter...there was a long string about this on the old Dimitri forum. Taranto and taranta are different cantes from the same family, a bit like caña and polo...same but different. Both are free-form cantes however taranto, being less florid than taranta, lends itself to danceable compas, and so it came to pass that Carmen Amaya started dancing taranto and the cante was put to compas. It remains a cante libre however, and is sung libre if you listen to modern recordings
