ORIGINAL: val quote:
I would not call it "bulerias por solea" based on this clip anyway What WOULD you call it? Val Solea OR Solea por bulerias based on the short clip. Sorry I don't have the full version. I have another CD of them, again fast por medio. I thought Solxbul years ago, but a dancer showed me that regardless of the speed, the cante por solea IS what it is...it is a melody. If she sang a full normal letra of solea later in the piece, it would warrent the title it was given, and I would bet she does since that is what they called it. If it WAS labeled Solxbul, again, I would assume that was the name given to the DANCE, even though the singer sang solea. Again I dont' have a problem. Hope that makes sense? quote:
The meter of some of the poetry of solea becomes impossible to sing at bulxsol tempos. At least that is my experience. I would agree with you about the meter or rhythm of the MELODY, but the poetry is the same even for bulerias. Have you not heard singers sing the same exact letra por bulerias as Solea? But even still, Solea is a melody that can be sung same speed as as bulerias almost, depending on the little melismas and stuff. But singing it SUPER slow as a lot dancers require, IMO, seems to have been much harder for both singers and guitarists alike. Nowadays, singers that sing for dance a lot are real used to that feeling, and get on the guitarist's case more about pushing the tempo, then they probably did in the old days. quote:
You must be talking about Sanlucar's Bulerias I asked a few people what they thought about that, everyone said bulerias. Bulerias de Cadiz to be exact. The key implied Cadiz to everybody. The remates also implied bules to everybody (5 people or so.) 5 people huh? Well I guess Manolo was wrong about what to call his OWN piece than, LOL! At least for that movie. And yet you still want to read his book???[8|][:D][:D] I have no probs with Bulerias de Cadiz myself, as I have stated dozens of times before. But now we are off topic again! OK to generalize my thoughts before we go in circles with this stuff, I want to say the difference guitarwise, between Solea por medio and Solea por Bulerias if you were to play them back to back in a performance and make them sound different, is: 1. Solea por medio should be slower, and CAN be looser or more elastic. Doesn't have to be, but more laid back is ideal. 2. Solea por bulerias is usually a bit faster and more steady or at least rhythmically driving forward. Bulerias por Solea would be the same thing guitarwise too. More aggressive than solea, more on top of the tempo. The above really does not NEED to affect a cante performance at all, but sometimes does. Dance usually incorporates a medley of guitar feels and cantes, all under the umbrella of a single title. Not so typical to have a SLOW solea por medio dance, but I have heard it done (hence A LOT of experienced dancers don't like the sound por medio for Solea, they associate with faster rhythm of Solxbul and probably afraid about the tempo pulling up). If that makes no sense to anybody, what I will do is shoot a vid of that same Solea Por buleria I did, but with the "aire" of Solea instead. Maybe that would make sense?
