As February approaches it seems like good time to start talking about love!
Here’s a letra por bulerías that I think you’ll enjoy.
Soleá de Alcalá
¿A quién le contaré yo
las fatiguitas que estoy pasando?
se los voy a contar a la tierra…
Have you heard Manuel De Falla’s Siete Canciones Populares Españoles?
In researching for this post, I discovered that today’s letra came from that piece.
Watch Javier Barón dance to it and Matilde Coral dance bulerías at the end.
How good are you at giving jaleos?
Whether you dance, sing play guitar, or play cajón, you must also give jaleos. In fact, even if you prefer only to watch flamenco, you’ll want to give some jaleos. It’s almost disrespectful not to.
Below find three activities to help you strengthen your ability to give these calls of encouragement along with ten straight minutes of bulerías to practice to.

Hoy,
Bulerías

Me pongo a cantar y no puedo
la garganta no me ayuda
tengo que tomar zumito
de la naranja moruna
I go to sing and I can't
My throat doesn't help me
I have to drink the juice
of the Moorish orange

Here's an interpretation from Miguel Poveda of the popular Bulerías de Cádiz reflecting upon the current-day situation in Spain. Scroll down for an out-of-control amazing video of a live performance, ¡que compás y gracia! with José Quevedo, Diego del Morao, El Londro, Luis Cantarote, and my (not real) boyfriend's real brother, Carlos Grilo.
Bulerías de Cai
¡Qué disparate!
Con el caray, caray, caray,
éstas son las cosas que pasan en Cai,
que ni la hambre la vamos a sentir,
que mire usted que gracia tiene este país.

La Gitanería is having these Saturday night flamenco cante shows. There was one last night. It started at 10:30. Only, it didn’t actually begin until 11:30, maybe even a bit later than that. We didn’t even start walking there until after 11. As we came in we walked by Diego del Morao. He was not performing, just hanging out...
The first set was excellent. Two young guys, a singer and a guitarist. Sorry, I don't know their names. The first set also ended up being the only set.
It was one of those Jerez shows where most of the people in the audience are Jerezanos.
