quote:
The most melodic part of flamenco cante is that famous line tiriti tran tran tran tran... As I said, you don't seem to know what "melody" is... So, ok, I will give you the benefit of the doubt, and assume you are not a complete ignoranus, and try and explain this thing: You are using "melodic" as an adjective, a descriptive word, and as such it is SO subjective as to be virtually meaningless, but what it means is "easy on the ear", "catchy", sweet, nice, but those things are all COMPLETELY relative and subjective. I am using "melody" as a noun, a thing. In music we have melody, rhythm and harmony (also timbre, but keep it simple for now). Melody is a single voice or line with varying pitch, so any solo singer (as in my example of martinete or any other cante a palo seco) is, by definition MELODY. And any time a singer is singing, that is MELODY, and if a guitar is accompanying with chords then they are providing HARMONY. You might find it hard to hear or sing, but that doesn't stop it being melody. Same with hearing the right chords for accompanying, just because YOU find it hard, doesn't stop it being MELODY. So you find michael jackson and mariah carey and tiriti tran in alegrias "melodic" because they are easy for you. What you really mean is that YOU think the tiriti tran is the nicest melody in flamenco. If you really want to "be a tocaor in 10 years" (10 years! ) then you really need to get over your aversion to flamenco melody. It may not seem "nice" or "sweet" or "easy" to you, but it is still MELODY.
