Great, thanks!

That clears away a lot of fog!

[@aydenburris8631]

I feel like this right here is the most important thing to learn as a flamenco guitar player who's trying to learn to preform with dancers.

[@FlamencoExplained]

There's probably lots of "most important" things, but yeah, I'd agree that this is one of them!

If the Bulerías always begin on 12, and 12 is the leading pulse in each compas, why is that beat counted as the 12 and not the 1? Is there some other component (e.g. the cante or the dance) where the 1 really feels like a beginning? Thanks for producing such fantastic and clear resources Kai - really helpful!

[@FlamencoExplained]

At slower tempos (like in Soleá, Alegrias or Soleá por Bulerias) the 12 can feel more like the end than the beginning of the compás. The other answer is that that's just how it is, so whether or not it makes perfect sense at first, you need to learn to count this way in order to communicate with other musicians or dancers.

Another way to reconcile it in your head is to think of it as a cycle. No beginning, no end. Just names for the beats
