Themes You’ll Hear
- Love and loss, exile and return.
- Work, family, and dignity.
- Everyday detail as poetry.
- Pride and humor in cantes festeros (party songs).
Duende is not a trick — it’s the door that opens when emotion meets craft.
Forms (At a Glance)
| Cante | Character | Feel |
|---|---|---|
| Soleá | Deep, spacious | Long phrases, breath |
| Seguiriyas | Ancient, raw | Tension and release |
| Alegrías | Bright, coastal | Smiles in melody |
| Tangos | Earthy, social | Groove and sway |
How to Listen
- Notice melismas (ornamental runs).
- Respect the silences between verses — they hold meaning.
- The room will breathe with the singer.
Practice Prompt
- Write one line you’d sing after a heartbreak; keep it simple.
- Speak it softly over a slow compás; feel where it lands.
