Soleá Por Bulerías

Why is it used?

It is a bulería sung at a slower tempo. Like the soleá, this style has a cathartic function, although it is not as solemn and serious as it.

Thematic

You will find themes similar to those of the soleá, such as pain or sorrow, mixed with those of the bulería, relaxed and joyful.

Costumes

The clothes used are dark and sober, helping to introduce us into the atmosphere. In general, we will find few accessories in this dance.

How is it interpreted?

The structure of this dance is shared with the soleá. However, the more lively rhythm of the soleá por bulerías makes it less static and solemn, allowing for more movement and rhythm.

A bit of history

This style appears in slate recordings under the name of bulerías, reaffirming that its roots go back to them. We find it associated with the city of Jerez de la Frontera due to the number of singers from this place who have performed it. Since the beginning of the 20th century we can listen to recordings of bulerías por soleá by performers such as Tomás Pavón or Pastora Pavón ‘La niña de los peines’.
