I met the singer in Granada, Rafael, from Sevilla if I remember correctly. A really nice person who taught me a little bit about accompaniment.

He messes up at 1:53 - 1:54... tries to land a Dm instead of E7. Right? The guitarist has a cool groove going on, but he has some lapses here and there. Some maxilla he has though! It looks like a V instead of a U!

Nice....I liked that too.

The guitarist looks like he was having lots of fun - he had a huge grin the entire time.

That cante, the bulería corta, can go either way. Waiting just a fraction of a second before committing to the E7 is usually the best way, especially if you know that the singer does it both ways.

Ole! Now that's how it's supposed to be done :) You get a real sense (as Ramzi and Norman have been pointing out) of just how hard accompaniment is, too!

Hey Max...You are right, that was the guy we were jamming with in "la Buleria" with Juan Habichuela last summer . I found this photo of us in one of the Zambras.

I am glad you all liked it , they are having so much fun making it swing .

The guitarist is a monster , i believe he is the son of Manolo brenes another incredible guitarist and the singer is his uncle camarom .

They are part of the diego del Gastor family .

That makes sense. Those buleria falsetas are all from Morón de la frontera.

Max - yes

Thanks for the nice video.

I have a question. I really don't know much about bulerias and flamenco and this chord change confused me.

Why did he go to E7 and A major at 2:30? And at 4:08 it sounds like alegrias chords too.

Hi JieXian,

quote:

Generally, the melodies of the cantes don't have to stay in the same mode. For example, there are major-sounding fandangos de Huelva ("Calaña ya no es Calaña"), there are minor-key alegrías and tangos, there are major-key soleás, and you probably already know about major-key siguiriyas (cabales).

Specifically, many bulerías are the result of nearly doubling the tempo of other cantes like soleás and cantiñas (alegrías). Historically, many singers have arranged different cantes for bulerías: not just fandangos and tangos, but also tarantas, malagueñas and even siguiriyas. It's a challenge and source of pride for singers to be able to do this. It's also very common to sing cuplés por bulería. If you listen to La Macanita, Luis Zambo or José Mercé (all from the Santigao neighborhood of Jerez de La Frontera), you'll hear Phrygian-based bulerías, major-key bulerías ("Mi amante es pajarera, me trajo un loro") and minor-key bulerías ("Era de Sevilla y se llamaba Carmen").

Compared to other cantes, there are fewer rules for bulerías. It's sort of like they invented the rhythm first and had to look for the cantes afterward.

Yes, it's a great video. It just goes to show, if it grooves and has a good vibe then you don't need all the technical prowess.

I love the way he finishes one falseta. At 3.52 he hits this nice tense chord and lets it hang in mid air before finishing with this humorous little triple pull off. Top shelf.

Thank you very much for the explanation. Flamenco really is very complicated.

Every video in this series is brilliant, including the 10 part film Flamenco: A Personal Journey (all on youtube) - I feel blessed that Tao spent the time recording all these precious moments
