quote:
ORIGINAL: pacowannab why do Paco Serrano's bulerias sound more like Moraito's bulerias (ie they "swing") than Vicente Amigo's bulerias (to my untrained ears)? Can individual styles make a muddle of the idea of regional styles? Because your ears are as you say "untrained". And also you are just listening to guitar solos. Listen to Vicente accompany the bulerias track 5 on his album with Jose Merce, for a more "jerez" style of playing, yet still with the Vicente stamp. Track 7 of the same album has Vicente and Morao together, and it is hard to tell them apart at first. Then after you soak that in go back and listen close to some of Vicente's solo stuff again and you will notice some little nuances of "swing" tucked away inbetween the modern style falsetas. But it is true the "regional" bounderies have lifted as the world has gotten much smaller. Most people nowadays try to do a bit of "Jerez" swing in certain interpretations of bulerias, and of course, young players like Diego, Moraito's son, have picked up lots of tricks specifically from guys like VICENTE, and incorporated it into his own strong jerez-root style. So no need to make it seem so cut and dry like this "guy always swings, but THAT guy never does" etc. Just keep the ears open is all. Ricardo
