Here’s one of the (many) bulerías letras and coletillas Manuel Gutierrez sang for us in our bulerías workshop*.

It’s from La Macanita’s album Sólo por Eso.

Bulerías

Sólo por eso
entre los naranjos
me diste un beso

For that reason
under the orange trees
you gave me a kiss

Listen to La Macanita sing it at the end of the song below:

Context: Before she sings this coletilla she sings another part of the letra that talks about how they are in love. So this is the reason they kissed in the orange grove.

Manuel’s positivity is infectious and studying fiesta styles with him was so much fun. Should you ever have the chance to study with him, definitely do!
