Palmas? No thanks. Don't want to hear that noisy crap. Most people would think that way including me. The role of palmas in flamenco in particular in flamenco guitar playing. The same goes for knuckles knocking on a table for example during cante accompaniment.
Are you serious?? Have you ever tried doing contra-tiempo? Have you ever sat in a room where skillfully executed palmas get the air moving from all directions and build excitement?
Am I missing something here?
But, if you’re serious, to be helpful, if you don’t ‘get’ palmas you have to start to re-evaluate your relationship with flamenco, IMO, because you are cutting out an enormous part of the cultural history of its development by ignoring this. This is how the children are initially taught, FFS.
To consider the question about the role of palmas in flamenco guitar playing, the first point is flamenco isn’t just about guitar. This discussion happens all the time on here. But, to be clear, palmas preceded guitars, flamenco can exist without guitars, sorry to say. There’s a lot of aficionados who aren’t that interested in simply solo guitar flamenco, too. It may be your love, but that doesn’t mean it’s what most people feel, contrary to your generalization.
To be fair, I’m not a fan of too much tacon in recorded music, I often skip over those pieces. But, yeah, you got to rethink this palmas stance, I think. Also, maybe don’t be so darned confrontational so much, I realize half the time it’s just in fun, but poking at someone who hasn’t been here in a long time is a bit much. Zata has more first hand knowledge about flamenco in her little finger than most of us will be able to acquire in a lifetime. Show some respect, please.
Your first request makes sense and is a good idea, then you go on with this stuff. Geeez.
