You are a gifted teacher sir, and your videos are SO helpful in explaining flamenco to folks who weren’t lucky enough to grow up immersed in the music. A thousand thanks for your wonderful channel!
I LOVELOVELOVE the legos! They make the compas truly visible. This is like the ultimate Flamenco University (or elementary school, actually, but still!!!). It blows my mind!
Perfectly explained. I'm an Irish drummer living in Spain and every flamenco guitarist explained flamenco to me with a standardised displaced counting to a sequence they called the compass. However here though the core principles are described in more precise detail and I needed it because the descriptions I got from others did little to help me hold on for dear life when they played matrix bending phrases in their flamenco loops. Here though I can now begin to correlate the guitar work ontop of mine and now begin hearing the obscuring of the compass in the moments the guitar parts are made complex
I’m so glad! It is tricky indeed and we all have our biases (guitarist’s bias, dancer’s bias etc…). You might understand a lot more with this video: ua-cam.com/video/B4yMlZTt8tc/v-deo.html Thanks for watching and for the comment!
FINALLY! I'm a classical singer and the first thing I do when I look at a new piece is learn the rhythm. I have been trying to find someone to teach me compas basics because, although rhythm is a strength of mine, I can't count in 'flamenco'. THANK YOU!
@ thank you very much! As I make progress in exploring flamenco, I would be happy to book a private lesson with you at some point. I only just started exploring the culture and history, and want to come to the lesson prepared with lots of questions!
Those are 2 pieces (called: La Suerte and Las Flores No Valen Nada) that I composed with a former project AONC TRIO. You can find them here: aonctrio.bandcamp.com/album/appellation-dorigine-non-contr-l-e Thanks for your interest! 🙃
@@dimension2788 I wish it were that easy ;-) The first half of the hemiola is usually written in 6/8 (3+3 beats) and the second half in 3/4 (2+2+2 beats). It makes the time signature change every 6 beats, which is not practical to read. You can also write everything in 3/4, or 6/4, or 12/4, always marking the accents in their place... But these time signatures imply that the first beat of the measure is a strong beat, which may be true for the bulería or the guajira, but not necessarily for the soleá or the alegría. There are several ways to write flamenco compasses in an "academic" way, each with advantages and disadvantages...

What about a video explaining the different palos related to cantiñas, how to differentiate them?
Thanks Marisela! That's a great idea! But here there is a short and easy answer: the melody of the cante :-)
❤Muchos Gracias
De nada, my pleasure 🙃🤩
@@FlamencoMAPS Guess the compas in 12 we might call a 12/8. where there is 12 beats and written as 8th notes?
@@dimension2788 I wish it were that easy ;-)
The first half of the hemiola is usually written in 6/8 (3+3 beats) and the second half in 3/4 (2+2+2 beats).
It makes the time signature change every 6 beats, which is not practical to read.

Thankyou I need to comprehend this better and you are helping.
@@FlamencoMAPS Mahalo!
