Watch the following videos then try the bulerías palmas activity at the end of this post.

Here is one of the letras:

Sacrifiqué todos mis sueños yo,
nunca pensé que así fuera el amor.
Y ahora me dices, y ahora tú dices que necesitas pensar
y si sales por esa puerta no vuelvas más.

I sacrificed all of my dreams;
I never imagined love would be like this.
And now you tell me that you need to think,
and if you walk out that door, don’t ever come back.

Listen to Nani Cortés sing this at 1:50 in the clip below:

Now listen to him sing it again at about 2:30 in the video below:
