The exception was Maria, who luckly sings in the soprano range in E phrygian and octave high, so the melody looks great on paper. The first cante is like Joaquin but she goes higher, and the repeat is almost like Serneta 1. An interesting mix of the two style IMO, and I guess there will be arguments there. The second I would say Andonda 1. Obviously those are the only real Soleá styles in the second video. Thanks for your reply. I will focus on Maria Vargas. Hopefully at some point I will be able understand/recognise the more common solea cante melodies. Although I realise there are always variations with each singer and no definitive blue print version of each style. There are specifics about the delivery of La Serneta, for example, only singing the first line then waiting a compas before delivering both together, but I am thinking those details are about orthodoxy and remove the improvisational aspects that are allowed for any singer that knows what they are doing. But that is one reason I think it best to argue that she is intending Joaquin 1 Alcala style with the first letra. It is just she hits the B note above A which is not typical. Serneta actually has to go up to C, first AND second line, so that’s I why I felt she was sort of in the middle of the two styles. The chords are unaffected, although years ago, Romerito argued that some singers hit a G natural instead of G# and that signaled guitar players to go for G major as proper accompaniment of Joaquin 1. In my experience that is literally a flat note (a mistake, unintentional) and the guitar should stick to the Am first chord move. So in that sense, for what to understand, the basic chord progression is the same for both styles, and the resolution phrase happens whether the singer sings A_AB or ABAB. So nearly all styles of 4-line verses use Am E Am E, G-C E, G-C E. And nearly all 3 line verses use Am, G-C E, G-C E. And Joaquin 3 you missed in the other topic is unique, Am-E, E-Am, G-C E, (G-C E).
