bulerías letras
Here watch Carmen Herrera and José Mijita doing a concert from home during the 2020 lockdown in Spain.
Here’s one of the letras you’ll hear:
Bulerías
Me ha costao un dineral…
How well do you understand the structure of bulerías?
Below you’ll find a priceless video from this year’s Fiesta de la Bulería in Jerez.
I’ll deconstruct a couple of the dances and let you do the rest.
Feel like dancing bulerías?
You can do so with the video below.
But first, here’s one of the letras you’ll hear:
Ready to deconstruct a bulerías pataíta with me?
Watch Luisa La Margara dance at the end of the video below.
(And if you thought you were too old to dance flamenco, think again.)
Ready to have some fun (and test your ear)?
Take a look below at one of the letras we’re dancing to in Beginning Bulerías right now.
Following that is a recording…
Soleá por Bulerías
Traditional
¿Por qué no te pones tú
a pensar en mi querer?
Porque yo de pensar en el tuyo
loquita me voy a volver

In need of a little chuckle?
Then read on for today’s letra.
I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I do…
Bulerías
Traditional
Estoy por decir señores
Si al río yo me tirara
Saliera llena de flores
Because two hundred bulerías letras won’t suffice, here’s one more for you.
This one’s used at the end of another letra as a coletilla.
Did you know you can find more than two hundred bulerías letras here?
I suppose that’s what happens when you’ve been publishing a letra a week for nearly ten years and you love bulerías.
Can you think of one letra you’ve heard sung across different palos?
We know that can happen a lot in flamenco.
Today you’ll hear examples of the same letra both por bulerías and por soleá.
Bulerías de Cádiz
Yo quiero hacer testamento
porque me voy a morir
La mitad es para mi madre
y la otra mitad es para ti
How good are you at giving jaleos?
Whether you dance, sing play guitar, or play cajón, you must also give jaleos. In fact, even if you prefer only to watch flamenco, you’ll want to give some jaleos. It’s almost disrespectful not to.
Below find three activities to help you strengthen your ability to give these calls of encouragement along with ten straight minutes of bulerías to practice to.
