5 … flamenco music is organised like any spoken language, with its grammar and syntax?

  • Indeed, in flamenco guitar playing there is a set of rules or guidelines when articulating musical sentences (called variations and ‘falsetas‘) that show a true musical syntax.
  • From that point of view, it becomes easier to understand unique flamenco resources such as ‘bulería rota‘ (broken bulería) or ‘medio compás‘ (half metric cycle).
