Remember also that in some Palos the palmas pattern can vary. For instance, in Bulerias there are patterns in ternary, binary, or even all 12 beats cycle. So being confortable passing from one to another during the same song is important.

We tend to focus on things like technique, etc, thinking our singing or playing will be better and we can focus next on groove, etc.
However, there is a fastest way. And that is focusing on groove and feelings in order to drive our performance.

Remember that Compas in Flamenco is not a matter of keeping time. It has shape and it goes places. So having always a real compas sample will help you adquire that. Now jam tracks are a better than metronomes (even if you use a Flamenco Metronome). However, they are also limited because they are usually loops that repeats… Read more

Well done Jenny. If you don’t mind me a quick tip. Instead of using a metronome use always any jam track with palmas or cajon. Let it drive you as you practice until you can fly solo. 😉

I have some Hawaiian shirts still. Senegalese not that much, but there is a shop right down the block from my place here in Spain. hahahahaha….

So improvisation in Renaissance music…? Interesting.

Now when you mention “understanding the forms and rhythms is the key, followed by more work in harmony and interval.” If you are referring to Arabic music, Desert Blues, etc, be careful, in those styles there was no harmony originally. So the key is learning their… Read more

There you will find some examples for playing Blues with Arabic music, etc. There are even some short visdeos showing you how to do it.

Cheers!

It looks like you had quite a wonderful experience.

Well, the Bluesy stuff you were trying to play with our Moroccan friends was not wrong. However, it is necessary to know how to apply it to their playing. They have a different approach to the material they use when playing. It is not that different but if you don’t knwo how to…
