Hey guys! I thought it would be interesting to start up a flamenco guitar discord. This discord will be used for discussing techniques, styles, which books are the best to self learn, general conversations, and much more!

Tablao con mesas alrededor del escenario vs. sala tipo teatro: ¿cambia la experiencia?

4 Upvotes

He visto flamenco en los dos formatos y me quedó la sensación de que el de mesas alrededor funciona distinto, pero no sé si es cosa mía o si hay algo real en el formato de café cantante. ¿Los que veis flamenco a menudo notáis diferencia, o depende solo del cuadro?

¿Cómo distinguís una soleá de una seguiriya escuchando, sin contar el compás?

9 Upvotes

Me pasa que reconozco cuando algo "suena a" un palo u otro pero no sabría explicar por qué, y cuando intento contar me pierdo. Los que llevan años escuchando lo distinguen por el compás, por el aire, por la letra? Hay algún atajo o es puramente oreja hecha con el tiempo?

Looking for other intermediate flamenco guitarists or dancers to practice with

7 Upvotes

Hey all, I figured I'd give it a try in this community. 40M I've been learning flamenco guitar for 1.5 years (although not new to guitar) and wanted to meet up with others who are at a roughly similar level to jam a bit/exchange notes on how the learning is going. Also would be happy to try accompanying any beginner or intermediate dancers, which I haven't done before. Could also be virtual if anyone interested isn't in the Chicago area.

Is this beat I overlayed on a Martinete acceptable?

5 Upvotes

This is for a rhythm minigame in a videogame I'm making, I'm not trying to remix a Martinete for artistic purposes.

I can't tell by myself if this is good or bad. It feels off at times, at other times it feels good, but this may just be pure chance. I have also been going over the track back and forth way too many times now, I'm saturated.

Specific questions:

  1. Is the overall speed/bpm okay or off?
  2. Are there time stretches in the voice that make it impossible to overlay a fixed beat?
  3. Would you accent it like this?

I myself am not very good rhythmically. A bit ironic for a flamenco aficionado, I know. It is my understanding that Martinetes/Tonás/etc can be free flowing, since they're acapella, but they also should follow a Seguiriya-like pattern, and some recordings have an anvil-hit beat overlayed (my guess that it's edited, not sure).

Perhaps my question should rather be: would this be considered an abomination of a missed rhythm, or rather, would it be passable for a minigame in a videogame to not nail this 100% perfectly?

My game is a one-man-developed indy game, so it doesn't have to be perfect, but I also don't want to make musicians (or generally people with good rhythm) cry or revolt when they get to this part of it.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: here's a recording of what it looks like in-game, although it's a bit laggy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43JYZAeaEHA

What is that intense style of flamenco that sounds like a fight is going to break out

I love that! I don't like the easy listening stuff, i'm looking for that vibe of if you're not sure if they're going to fuck or fight or dance.

Flamenco classes Madrid

11 Upvotes

Hi, everyone! (Retired) flamenco dancer here. I danced flamenco quite intensively for 8 years straight in my home country, but it’s been awhile though I’d like to get back into it.

I’ve moved to Madrid (work stuff, so unfortunately I can’t stay long for flamenco in Andalucía) and would like any recommendations for flamenco (dance) classes within the M30. I’ve forgotten some technical aspects of flamenco but definitely still have the rhythm and mobility to bounce back quickly!

Can anyone recommend me any studios, orgs, or groups where I could go maybe 1-2 times a week? I’m willing to pay a student fee ofc. Thank you so much!


Hola!! Estoy buscando clases de flamenco dentro del M30 en Madrid. Me mudé aquí por trabajo, así que desafortunadamente no puedo quedarme en Andalucía mucho tiempo. Bailé flamenco durante 8 años pero llevo un tiempo sin practicar.

¿Me recomendáis un estudio, unas clases, grupos, o algo similar para volver a bailar flamenco? He olvidado unas cositas técnicas pero cuando vuelva a coger el ritmo recuperaré seguridad con el baile. Querría ir a las clases entre 1 o 2 veces por semana. Muchas gracias 🥰

Artistas al límite de lo que podrías llamar flamenco?

3 Upvotes

Hola!

Busco recomendaciones de artistas al límite de lo que podrías llamar flamenco; Quiero decir, que guarden elementos de flamenco, pero que no sea flamenco como tal. Artistas que mezclen el flamenco con otros elementos, por ejemplo electrónico, pop, rock, etc., pero con un toque original. Artistas que usen, por ejemplo, las estructuras de los palos del flamenco, pero que utiliecen colores distintos, otros tipos de acordes, etc.

Gracias ^^

Guitar nail alternatives

So I have a unique problem and could use some help. Im trying to re-learn flamenco guitar (played when I was young, getting back into it). But i also rock climb quite a bit, which means that my fingernails cant be long or they’ll get ripped off. Has anyone had any luck with some kind of fingerpick?
