Flamenco Fridays Alegrías con Rancapino Chico
Alegrías has the standard flow of other dances with letras, escobilla and Bulerías with few different elements:
- Entrada for singer (titi ti tran)
- Letras (usually two singing verses)
- After the second letra, there’s generally a little footwork that finishes with a subida (tempo build up)
- Silencio (slow falseta specific for Alegrías)
- Castellana (optional letra that’s a fast estribillo that leads into the escobilla)
- Escobilla (footwork)
- Bulerías de Cádiz (letra of Bulerias that’s only sung at the end of an Alegrias)
- Estribillo (ending chorus)
As usual, there are variations with possibly more falsetas, extended escobillas and multiple letras of Bulerías.
