The relatives of Soleá you will like, Caña, Polo, Bambera, Romance, Petenera (as mentioned and there is even Solea Petenera used in conjunction with Solea apola style). You can add Tientos to that list even though it is in 4 meter. However if you check Norman’s site www.canteytoque.es and go through the various classifications of both Solea and Siguiriyas, you will notice that they were historically done very fast. So basically the tempo is no excuse for turning your back to Tangos and Bulerias and many other “up beat” styles. In the end, Bulerias is literally fast Solea in many cases, same lyrics and melodic skeleton, chords, and meaning. There are many non traditional songs where the fast tempos are used, and if that genre is what turns people off, that is understandable. Basically if you spend time on Norman’s site with the traditional styles, it is easy to draw your lines and learn to distinguish even the fast up beat songs.
