Starting with Farruca

25/10/2012

Dear Students!

Sorry for the delay posting about Flamenco! The courses beginning has been thrilling and exhausting, but now I’m ready to start and I’m sure that you will enjoy all the info!!

First of all I would like to thank you for joining the classes…I’ve found an incredible group of people loving what I love and attending the classes with the same passion as me when teaching  them!. I would like to repay you letting at your disposal everything I know about Flamenco…So this is the first of a series of posts explaining any of the aspects of Flamenco Palos that we are studying in the class. Enjoy!

Today we’re starting with the Farruca. The farruca is a binary rythm palo (s 1 2 3), belonging to the Tangos family. Its origin is not clear, but the most accepted theory  says that the emigrant people from Galicia and Asturias were called “farrucos” when just arrived to Cuba or Andalusia, and as far as they sung sad songs missing their lands and their women, they decided to name the palo “ Farruca”. Nevertheless, this is one of the youngest flamenco palos, because the great migrations from Galicia to Cuba didn’t start until the beginning of the 20th century.

The Farruca is a genuinely male dance, with a sober, melancholic and lilting style, where is really important to include “redobles”, “llamadas” y “contratiempos” among others virtuous specifications, being for that reason a hard test for many dancers. Nowadays, one of the most important Farruca performers is Israel Galván, who has a very particular and daring style. Ladies who perform amazing farrucas are Sara Baras and Concha Jareño, among others.

You can find lots of beautiful Farruca in the internet, but, the funniest I have ever found (thanks to my colleague Mike for showing it to me!) is this one. Enjoy it! See you soon!

Flamenko, like the name suggests is a flaming dance form. You would fall in love with a flamenco dancer and would ask her to marry you after one of these shows. The range of skill needed is extreme. It was a really informative blog about Flamenco.
