A Gitano-derived word, ‘Bulerias’ comes from the Spanish word ‘buleria,’ which means ‘torn-foolery’ or ‘ridicule.’ Many theories abound on its roots. A recent development of the Cante Gitano, it appears to be barely a century old. Still associated with the Gitanos, Bulerias is a toque with enormous flexibility, ever-evolving in style. Some like to call it ‘omnivorous,’ since much music from other genres, namely pop songs, even non-Spanish music, has been set to its compas. Often dances, including Soleares, Alegrias, and other toques, end with a flourish by introducing Bulerias at the climax.
