Flamenco Fridays Camerón
Within this cante jondo several types must be distinguished. On the one hand, we find the soleá grande (four lines); the soleá del cambio (to finish off and in another tonality); the soleá por bulerías(harmony of soleá and compás de bulería); the soleá corta, the soleariya (shortened melody soleá with the first verse reduced to four syllables); the soleá apolá (with which the pole closes, another type of triana soleá); the soleá de preparación (to start a specific cante); and those of zurraque(typical of the potters).
The soleá has been establishing its own style in each place where it has been practiced, for example, it is inevitable to speak of the soleá of Triana, so typical of this neighborhood, the cradle of Sevillian singers such as El Moreno or Francisco Amaya. Referring to the styles of other corners of Andalusia, we must also speak of those of Cádiz and the Ports, of Jerez, of Alcalá, of Utrera and Lebrija, of Córdoba and Marchena, among others.
Soleá is a complex flamenco style, full of feeling and considered one of the most traditional of this artistic genre. A style that has influenced others and is part of the essence of this art. Seeing a soleá live is a highly recommended experience for lovers and fans of pure and traditional flamenco.
