about

I was off to Spain, Barcelona, for a few days and wanted to share this to get in the mood and let you experience a little with me.

I dedicate this one to a great flamenco guitarist who sadly is no longer among us: Moraito Chico. I once owned a video of him playing a Bulerias, a festive and fast flamenco style, next to the barrels in a wine cellar, great acoustics and the scene completely enhanced the experience. Wonderful...

I hope you like my little deviation from the traditional flamenco palo Bulerias: La Vieja Bodega de Vino. I gave it a go here, playing around with the rhythm by escaping in more lyrical passages only to return to the foundation of rhythm and patterns of the standard style again.

A little insight:
The Bulería or Bulerias, in plural, is a derivative style of the flamenco palo group of Soléa, sharing the same rhythmic pattern but much faster. The name Bulerias is probably derived from the Spanish word burlar, meaning "to mock", or bullería, meaning tumult or commotion. So, the bulería is a festive and optimistic palo, initially used in flamenco to round up songs in other styles, such as the Soléa or Alegrías as a kind of finale, increasing speed and enthusiasm. At the end of the 19th century it became so popular, it was developed into it's own style. In essence it is a 12 beat rhythm with accents on the 3,6,8, 10 and 12, it is accompanied by a very recognizable guitar pattern which is used by all flamenco players to start with, which then is used to deviate from in improvisation or in different developments.
It is considered to be one of the most difficult flamenco styles, due to the virtuosity needed to just play the basic pattern at a fast tempo.

Architect/partner by profession I find myself playing guitar and writing these tracks in afterhours, at nights, evenings, when in need of a dose of guitar sounds.

I have been playing guitar since I was 11 years old, largely self-taught and have tried different styles and instruments, Renaissance lute, Flamenco, Classical guitar and fusion. ... more
