Flamenco Fridays Paco do Lucia
Buleria dance accompaniemnt includes several distinct moments of interaction between a guitarist and dancers:
- Entrada: when the dancer comes on stage
- Llamada: from the verb “llamar,” to call. The dancer calls to the other people on stage that something is about to happen, for example a new verse or section of footwork
- Desplante: a “display,” a short section of footwork
- Letras: dance that traditionally accompanies passages of singing. Chord progressions suggesting the letra may be included even when a singer is not present.
- Escobilla: long passages of footwork (though not too long – in buleria in particular this is frowned upon)
- Cierre: a closing dance pattern, often one moving across the stage
