Ron.M -> RE: Regional Tangos (Jun. 15 2004 8:51:21)

Rob, From what I understand, sub catagories of the main palos are defined by the song. The chords and syncopation of the main rhythm may be the same or vary according to a particular performer's style, but not necessarily due to regional influences. As far as I know, the guitar does not have any regional styles, only the song. Estela Zatania (Zata) is a font of knowledge on this subject and I'm sure she can point you in the right direction. I would say if you want to research this subject in any depth though, (as you have Early Scottish music), you would need a fair knowledge of the Spanish language. Here's a couple of links to begin with:- http://www.tristeyazul.com/histpal/palos00.htm http://caf.cica.es/flamenco/ cheers Ron
