Phrasing Bulerías in Sixes - Discuss & Demo with Kai Narezo

Kai Narezo and percussionist Kassandra Kocoshis discuss and demonstrate phrasing Bulerías in Sixes. They look at the two-feel and the three-feel in Bulerias - how they work together and against one another in real life. This videos is more of a discussion/demonstration than a tutorial, but should be helpful in showing how you can be more free in your use of rhythmic elements in Bulerías. Also dog cameo.

Good stuff Kai and Kassandra! Been playing with different grooves in bule and have played with these different feels and they all generally work as long as you and the cajon player know the compas well 👍

I'm sure dog knows more about this than I do so I'm going to have to watch this several times in order to get to "dog" level!

[@FlamencoExplained]

Dog has heard a lot of flamenco. Still waiting for him to show us what he can do :)

[@elyasuaral]

thanks guys, i wonder what you wanted to say before the dog breaks you :D

[@gkspartans547]

3.10 😂 Good Job Mr.Kai

[@malcmmm]

on which beat does the compas usually end on if you are closing together?

[@FlamencoExplained]

The short answer is that the bulerias compás ends on beat ten. It's not always quite that simple, but that answer will get you pretty far :)

[@vishwajeetbabbar7622]

Hi sir, can you pls tell what is the end Strumm called which u played at 0:29 i huess its is a drumm roll type filler in spanish spanish guitarra. In Indian Hindustani Classical Music we call it as "Tihai" . Im new to flamenco music and i am very interested in learning it but here in India hardly few people know flamenco style guitar. I hv been watching ur videos and hv found it very helpful but i struggle with some basics as i am new to this style of music. Other than that im a Pianist and Percussionist but I found that rhythm counts r very different in Flamenco Music and Pop Music. So it will be helpful if u can just tell me what is the word for Tihai or drum roll type STUMM called in guitar. Maybe Remate or CIERRE

[@FlamencoExplained]

That technique in general is called Rasgueado or Rajeo, and we can play different rhythms with that technique depending on how many fingers we use and in what order. In this case I'm playing triplets by using two fingers - index and middle - in a pattern that goes middle down, index down, index up. I'll have to check out Tihai now and see what that's all about! Cheers, Kai

[@vishwajeetbabbar7622]

@@FlamencoExplained thank you sir for answering my doubt. So Rasgueado is the Strumm ROLL on guitar. I can help you with Tihai and other indian terminology of music as far know n have been playing indian instruments! UTHAAN - it is like a "pickup" fo the song and is main part of the BUILD UP. So Uthaan will probably be Remate in Flamenco music. TIHAI - ending of rhythm by playing a Phrase 3 TIMES as per the bar count/cycle of song. We play on indian insturments like TABLA, DHOLKI and even use indian rythmic pattern on Western instruments like DRUMS & CAJON. Calculation: Tihai in a 4/4 song will have 3 parts of 4 beats played in 1/16th measure. It goes like Western drum like counting- (1,e,an,a, 2) _ (an a,3,e,An) _ (4,e,an,A). Or in indian rhythm we count it as (1,2,3,4,5) 6th is pause (1,2,3,4,5) pause (1,2,3,4). This is a 16TH TRIPLET TIHAI. Additional terms: Taals is word for Rhythmic Patterns. A song has time signature of 4/4. = 8 beats (we mostly count in quaver or 1/8 in indian system). This 8 beat PATTERN is called as "Kehrwa Taal" in indian system. 3/4 rhythm = 6 beat Pattern is Called "Dadra TAAL". 6/8 rhythm= 12 Beat Pattern is called "Khimta Taal" of Punjab which is Semi-quaver or 1/16th count per beat. It is also used as variation of Dadra Taal(6beat Pattern). Mostly 12 beat will be BULERIAS in Flamenco music as per the Playing Technique ,BUT i read that Flamenco considers 3/4 as BULERIAS and NOT 6/8 similiar to western music. Indian Music is diffferent in rhythms and we can use 3/4 and 6/8 interchangeably as per the FEEL of the song. Some additional info: Tihai is typical to indian music and not even the western music has it. But Tihai has become more common in india and is part of india POP music like bollywood music and fusion of Jazz and indian music.

[@nicholasbuttle7527]

Is that a particular type of cajon? TIA.

[@FlamencoExplained]

That's a POPercussion Big Bass cajon that Kassandra is playing. Cheers, Kai
