Gypsy wedding song....like villancios outside of Christmas time I was informed that it's "bad luck" outside of the actual gypsy wedding to perform this song. But payos are payos of course.
Se juntaron para festejar Festejan la boda el novio y la novia el novio y la novia suenan las campanas repicando a gloria repicando a gloria
etc ......
Nice piece of music and great playing ....fiesta ... get the wine and cheese out
Alboeas is a bit of Bulerias and Solea ...so everyones is right here....
ooops just read Ricardos post ...I never really heard it was bad luck ,, more just common sense ...like singing jingle bells on the beach in July .... why do it ?
Is that Agujetas-Moraito example I posted labelled wrong? It's the only example that doesn't have a sort of bulerias or jaleos feel.
That's a fair point. My understanding is it comes from solea, but, so does bulerias. I think after you cross a certain threshold of speed playing solea the same way sounds funny so you start playing it like bulerias......that's my guess anyway.
