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.
