There are many ways to dance, play, feel, explain, count the bulería compás.
This compás is complex because it has several facets and that we go from one to the other without stopping. It also often uses polyrtyhm, the fact of using simultaneous rhythmic cycles which shift but combine to give a new groove, a new "soniquete".
Here we are not going to count, but just experience with 4 very simple yet very efficient exercises 4 different ways to bring this compás to life.
We will practice many possibilities of the bulería compás with the PALMAS AND THE FOOT, that are 2 parts of our body-percussion-kit, 2 instruments like the drummers who use their hands and feett to play the drums.
Let's see examples of palmas which I called for simplicity "Jerez" and "Lebrija", but know that it is just indicative for the purposes of the exercise.
Never forget that whether we dance flamenco, we sing, we play guitar, palmas, percussion… we need to practice the Rhythm, Compás & Palmas a LOT.

You are an excellent teacher! Thank you
@@carolynhlava6259 Thanks a lot! 🙃
Única lección de bulería con sentido en todo youtube. Anda que lo tenga que explicar un hermano angloparlante!! Bravo amigo!!!
Jaja Muchas gracias! Un día lo volveré a grabar todo en español! 😅😂
Excellent approach to outside the box teachings, much appreciated!
John-Paul
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment!
Que lindo 💞 obrigadaaa
Gracias! 🙃🙏
Oh my goodness! I sure would like a bulería pill, but this video is the next BEST THING! Thank you. Olé!
Thank you Alyssa! The mass production of pills has begun! 💊😂💊😂💊😂
I'm so thrilled to find your channel!🤩🍾🥂💃💥Life circumstances have prevented me from being able to dance flamenco for the past 15 years. I miss it so much and also, I never felt I had reached any level of mastery. I was just really starting to understand all the elements when I had to stop. And then, if I'm totally honest, my real dream has always been to play flamenco guitar. Historically, you could not find much flamenco on TH-cam (especially an entire channel devoted to the nuances). Your channel is an absolute inspiration! You are an outstanding and gifted teacher and I am so appreciative that you have been generous enough to share all these details. I have forgotten SOOOOO MUCH and I'm ecstatic to have this hub to begin to remember. Thank you! I have obviously subscribed.😁 Appreciate you!
Thank you so much for this comment and for subscribing! I'm very happy to know I'm helping you connect again with your passion! Let me know if you have any question or video suggestion ;-)
@@FlamencoMAPS I have to spend more time exploring all your videos, but I am curious about one thing. So, my primary instrument is actually piano. And I would love to be able to adapt certain flamenco sounds and rhythms to piano. If you're familiar with Chano Dominguez, he is very successful at creating this adaptation. Of course, I am no where near Chano's talent!😂But I'm wondering if you have any tips of what/how I might practice. No pressure, but I'm quite open to ideas and suggestions. Looking forward to exploring your channel more. Muchas gracias y ten un buen dia! 😊
@@BELightTT That's great! I love Chano too, he's amazing!
Flamenco piano is something interesting, and it's been around for longer than we think (there seems to be a recording of soleares for piano from 1889, but I haven't found it yet). Flamenco music has developed largely through the idiosoyncrasy of the guitar (this is actually the subject of an upcoming TH-cam video). There are therefore flamenco piano styles that seek to reproduce on this instrument fingerings, voicings and typical guitar techniques (tremolo, rasgueos, alzapuá...). Others try to use the piano itself in a more pianistic sense, while respecting the musical rules of each palo (compás, harmonic context, etc). I would therefore advise you to start there: to understand well the rhythmic and harmonic frameworks of flamenco, then to transcribe many pianists or to learn from them directly by scores (there are quite a few today) in order to constitute yourself a vocabulary base. I hope it helps. Thanks for your interest! G.
@@FlamencoMAPS Thank you again for your quick response. I really look forward to your upcoming video. This is such an interesting idea to me. The interplay of the various instruments and the "cross-over" influence from one genre to the other throughout history. For example, I learned and played Asturias on piano long before I learned it on guitar. And yet I think of that as a guitar piece. You see this with the music of Manuel de Falla as well. He has a "guitar-esque" sound and sensibility, and yet most of his pieces are written for piano. Of course, you are 1,000% correct. The only way is to create that solid foundation in all the various palos, and develop that innate sense of the rhythm, contratiempo and harmonic quality. Guillermo, do you have an online course, by chance, that goes through all the different rhythms in a systematic way? I tend to learn best that way, as opposed to "piecemeal", and I am in need of an intensive, deep-dive review. I don't have access to any teachers right now or a flamenco community, and this is tough to do on your own. In any case, I will spend some time this weekend going through all your various rhythmic videos. Many thanks again, Guillermo! Te aprecio mucho.💖
@@BELightTT Thank you so much! 🙃 I working on online courses, it's a big project, but for now I'm offering online classes. You can message me at guille@flamencomaps.com and we can discuss it ;-)
I want to learn more about the rhythm of flamenco and I found this video helpful, still.....I have a long way to go, my brain overthinks everything, for now I'm just trying to listen to flamenco music and not think too much. You are a great teacher.
Thanks Melinda! Glad it was helpful!
I can relate to what you’re saying. Overthinking gets on the way, but thinking a lot is also in my opinion a strength that pushes you to understand what you’re doing and this will eventually grant solid foundations.
Let me know if you have any doubt or question! 🙃
Gracias por esto. I love bulerias more than I can possibly express. Thanks for offering more and more ways "into" bulerias.
My pleasure! More to come! 👏😜
Very accurate explanation also in a musical sense. T
Thanks! I appreciate it 🙏🙃
Thank you so much for your videos!! They're so well made and really help so much!!! 💫 It's been hard to find resources to learn flamenco online, but your videos have been very encouraging 🌟
That's great! Mission accomplished then 😎Thank you so much Sofia!
Tremenda clase. Gracias por sistematizar tan bién y compartir. Ole!
Mil gracias Giovani! Feliz de poder ayudar 😉
I LOVE THIS! GRACIAS...I CAN"T DO IT, BUT I LOVE IT.
I’m sure you can do it with a bit of practice! 🙃💪 thanks a lot for the comment!
I just discovered you and I want to thank you for your instruction! you are a great teacher! I have a brain injury and drumming is one of the best forms of physical therapy for the brain. I've been interested in the rhythms of flamenco since childhood and the added complication of coordinating my foot rhythm with my hands, WOW! I can feel my brain getting a workout! I am very excited to continue to learn from you channel!
Thank yo so much Amy! I’m so happy it helps you in your recovery! I wish you all the best! 🙃
Bien….con práctica creo….😊
La vida practicando! Abrazo Vero! 💪🤗
your excellent series made me pick up my guitar again after 20 years ... thanks!
That's the best thing you can say to me! I am really very happy about this news! Let me know how it goes! And many thanks for the gift. That's very generous of you!
Thank you so much for this easy to understand compas work. Wow! It is starting to sink in finally.
That’s great! I’m glad it helped clarify things for you! Bulería compás can actually be simple! 🙃 Thanks for your feedback!
❤️❤️
Thanks for the video! 3-feel Lebrija was the most challenging, but doable. It is good to realize that after having stopped dancing 5 years ago, I can recall the rhythms fairly well.
Amazing! I’m glad it helped you to take a little « compás stroll » after these few years! 😉
Exactly what I need to start inching down this path, thank you!
That’s great! Thanks Audrey! Enjoy the path 😌🙃

A treasure trove of videos! This one in particular helps with my learning and practice. Yes, I’m prioritizing my practicing! Your class & videos bring out the fun in the practice:)
That’s great Sonya! Keep going and you’ll see results very soon! 💪💪💪
The layering is really fascinating, in 3-feel + Lebrija I had feeling like in fandango, it is really amazing, thank you 🙂
So glad it helped! Thanks Elena! Yes fandango de Huelva also has this feel in two layers! 👏👏👏🙃
👍👍👏👏
🙏😉
Very good video, thank you very much!
Glad you liked it! 🙃🙏
I think, there might be a mistake approximately at 5:04. You suggest to play the accent at the third beat but you actually play it at the forth beat
I think I talk about the third palma 👏 which is the 4th beat 🙃
Génial merci ! 😊
Avec plaisir! 🙃
Very nice teaching- however I can follow you, but I can only reproduce the palma by ‘following you by ear’. Can you indicate the counting? Because I learned from start to count - un dos - un dos tres …. Cinco…. Nueve dies!
I would like to learn the count of my foot, of my golpe ! Cause you do golpe and a tacon- so is the foot that keeps the patron in the Tierra?
In other words which is the metronome? And is there one? Can you demonstrate the bulerias compas in a guitar- SLOW MOTION ?
Thank you so much 😅
Hi Cleo, thanks for watching and commenting!
I wanted to avoid counting because it's a source of great confusion. But let me try ;-)
What I call the TIERRA is the beat 12 or 6 (it's the same, since we are in "medio compases", half compases of only 6 beats).
So the count in medio compás can be [12]-1-2-3-4-5-[12]-1-2-3-4-5... or [6]-1-2-3-4-5-[6]-1-2-3-4-5...
There is no specific "technique" with the foot, you can do tacón, golpe, planta or whatever you want. The important thing is to keep track putting an accent on the TIERRA, the first foot of each medio compás.
There are many ways to count. In Jerez, they often count only what the foot does in "2 feel", so their compás is just [1]-2-3-[1]-2-3 (the 1 = la tierra, the 2 = the real beat 2, the 3 = the real beat 4).
It's complex to unify it all, and impossible to do so in a short video on TH-cam.
About the guitar, maybe I'll do guitar tutorial later on, but there are already many of them on TH-cam, for which you can slow down the speed.
I hope it makes a bit more sense ;-)
Guille
Oh thank you so much! Regarding guitar I meant if you can demo based on the feel and Tierra beat…
❤
@@mustyleable Ok I'll try to do that ;-)
