Some quick facts on some of the numerous flamenco styles.
La Buleria
La Buleria is one of the most most popular and dramatic arts forms of the flamenco world which permits great freedom and improvisation. Harmonically it revolves around the flamenco phrygian sound, as it´s tonal centre.
La Alegria
Alegria in Spanish means happiness. It is performed in major keys. It does not generally use the phrygian tonal centre. As a simple comparison, the resulting harmonic structure and sound is closer to Celtic music than sounds that evoke Mediterranean culture. What makes it flamenco, is the rhythm and the chosen form of melodic expression.
La Sevillana
Folk music and dance of Seville and its region in the south of Spain.
