Ricardo -> RE: Panaderos Flamencos (Jun. 8 2007 23:48:41)

Both pieces, and a couple others by Esteban are "classical" in structure as compositions, but not based specifically on flamenco palos, but should not be confused with classical guitar music either. Sort of like Gerardo's "Sevilla" we discussed before which is loosely based on flamenco palos or sevillanas, but is more of a "composition" containing the elements. A true flamenco palo can be improvised on and those pieces are not improvised at all. Anyway, the Panaderos is quite close to the spanish folk rhythm "Seguidillas" from where the misspelled "siguiyrias" probably took its name. At the end of Paco's version of Panaderos he sticks in a falseta from Sabicas's Alegrias in A major on Flamenco Puro. That falseta itself is better considered a "bulerias" falseta because of the speed. See how things get mixed up? I personally prefer the ORIGINAL version recorded by Esteban de Sanlucar. A bit slower with a nice rhythmic swing, rather than a picado exercise. Check out the orginal version if you can find it. Ricardo Ricardo
