How well do you understand the structure of bulerías?
Below you’ll find a priceless video from this year’s Fiesta de la Bulería in Jerez.

I'm still in a bulerías mood as I prepare to head to Jerez for the Flamenco Tour in a couple of weeks.
And so, today I have a video clip to share with you of a little girl from Jerez named Triana dancing bulerías (her signature dance of course) for Rafael Amargo. She starts off by singing the following letra then dances while her dad sings and plays guitar for her. You're going to love it.

I'm jut sharing this letra that Lamiae sang tonight.
