セビーリャの木製キノコの下で楽しむフラメンコ

1. Alegrías

   Bright, from Cádiz

   The name means joys. Wikipedia places its origin in Cádiz and gives it a twelve-beat cycle, played lively. A traditional dance in alegrías moves through set sections, from an entrance to a closing in bulerías.

2. Tangos

   Festive and four-square

   Its early development is placed between Cádiz and Seville by the Instituto Andaluz del Flamenco, as Wikipedia reports, and the same source insists that it is distinct from Argentine tango. Tangos can be sung, played or danced.

3. Soleá

   Serious and slow

   Counted by Wikipedia as one of the most basic palos, it probably arose with the Calé Romani, in Cádiz or in Seville. It usually has one guitar and a solemn air, and its lyrics often carry a feeling of intimate pain.

4. Seguiriyas

   The deepest cante

   Siguiriyas, Wikipedia says, belong to cante jondo, the deep song, and are purely Romani in origin. The words turn to tragic subjects: imprisonment, the death of someone close, love and religious ideas.

5. Bulerías

   The fast finish

   Wikipedia ranks it high for popularity and drama, and adds that it frequently ends a gathering. It grew up among the Calé Romani of nineteenth-century Jerez and leaves the most room for improvisation.

6. Zapateado

   Footwork you can hear

   The word means a tap of the foot. The venue says its room uses no electronic amplification, so the heels, the guitar and the singing arrive just as they are made.
