ORIGINAL: danuneken Hi Morante. Thanks. It's really only the palmas that make it bulería-like. Mmmmm. I guess I won't mention any palo at all. Compas and palos are two different things....sort of like a 12 bar blues verses a bluesy song or one that swings that might not be a proper blues structure. One could say fandango has a compas in 3/4, like in huelva styles, however a singer can sing a fandango Copla to compas of solea, buleria, tango, rumba, tanguillo etc etc. Think of compas as a "treatment" of a melody not as part of the melody itself. That's why they use the adjective "por buleria" or "por bla ba" to describe the treatment of a song melody. And not just singing.... a guitar solo might be described the same way....for example "Rondeña" for guitar players is a special tuning and key, so "Rondeña por buleria" the falsetas will be set to compas of buleria. Therefore you could describe her version as "song of Garcia Lorca SET TO THE COMPAS OR RHYTHM OF BULERIAS". Hope that makes sense.
