RE: Tempo ranges (in reply to DavRom)

tempo can vary greatly based on context, Solea in a baile situation can just barely crawl as opposed to a lot of those old cante records where it's like warp speed. I dunno, I'd hate to put a tempo on any but if I had to this'd be what I'd say.
Solea - 50-140
Solea pot buleria - 120-180
Buleria - 175-230+

It's all maths, proportion... the absolute speed won't change because of your choice of basic beat lenght.

Go with Lenny.

come on man ... get listening ...
dont ask that stuff , get listening and counting and working it out , and then maybe post to tell us what you found ,, It'll do you good
theres a ton of flamenco on line ,on radio on youtube on CD on everything .. get a metronome and start measuring ..

you know it makes sense ...

^^^^

that's funny. so you want me to "get listening" and then post to tell you

we didn't cover that kind of logic in college so no, it doesn't make sense

i mean .. i already know .. most here already know ...
if you want info .. you post your findings and get , perhaps ,, extra info on ...oh lets say if the tempos have got faster or slower since earlier recordings etc , or any other bits of what could be useful or interesting info

no logic ??? it doesnt make sense ,,

it is better for you to get everything clear in your head by doing it yorself , rather than someone ...or even some programme .. just telling you ...

you dont see it ,, i can tell , but its the best kind of help you can get ...

Speaking as a college lecturer: El Kiko's message to you is precisely THE THING that we most want students to get.

Dotted quarter might be off the metronome for Solea (on the low end). Lenny gave you 100% acccurate tempos for the QUATER NOTE....you can derive (against better judgement) the dotted quarter by dividing his values by 1.5 (3/2 relation). Have fun in math class.

I just said that because you stated "Solea poT buleria". You typed T instead of R.
