Here's something from Jerez last fall ...
October 30, 2013
I played bulerías to help me fall asleep during siesta time.
Bulerías with lots of palmas and jaleos of course.
Who does that?
Someone who is in Jerez I guess.
Someone who is in Jerez and just can't get enough. It's a good thing I'm going back.
I listened to one that I recorded at the peña last night.
Desde Jerez, a bulería
Bulerías
Popular
Cuando por la calle voy
la gente me mira mucho
y yo bonito no soy
When I go out on the street
people look at me a lot
and me, I'm not nice looking
And now, an old video
One that reminds me of why I love bulerías.
Why I love going to Jerez.
Why I love dancing and doing palmas and jaleos with Ani and Carmen.
And, of course, why I love dancing with Mercedes and Santi.
By the way, El Londro sings about romero in one of the letras. It's no surprise.
The Structure of a Bulerías de Jerez
Can you identify all of the parts in the pataita Mercedes dances? Tell me what you noticed. Do you have a question? Let me know. You can leave a comment below.
If you don't know what I mean,
You might like to come some Saturday and find out or perhaps come to Spain with me and experience the real thing!
