Dog has heard a lot of flamenco. Still waiting for him to show us what he can do :)

The short answer is that the bulerias compás ends on beat ten. It's not always quite that simple, but that answer will get you pretty far :)

Gracias Albert!

That technique in general is called Rasgueado or Rajeo, and we can play different rhythms with that technique depending on how many fingers we use and in what order. In this case I'm playing triplets by using two fingers - index and middle - in a pattern that goes middle down, index down, index up. I'll have to check out Tihai now and see what that's all about! Cheers, Kai

@@FlamencoExplained thank you sir for answering my doubt. So Rasgueado is the Strumm ROLL on guitar. I can help you with Tihai and other indian terminology of music as far know n have been playing indian instruments! UTHAAN - it is like a "pickup" fo the song and is main part of the BUILD UP. So Uthaan will probably be Remate in Flamenco music. TIHAI - ending of rhythm by playing a Phrase 3 TIMES as per the bar count/cycle of song. We play on indian insturments like TABLA, DHOLKI and even use indian rythmic pattern on Western instruments like DRUMS & CAJON. Calculation: Tihai in a 4/4 song will have 3 parts of 4 beats played in 1/16th measure. It goes like Western drum like counting- (1,e,an,a, 2) _ (an a,3,e,An) _ (4,e,an,A). Or in indian rhythm we count it as (1,2,3,4,5) 6th is pause (1,2,3,4,5) pause (1,2,3,4). This is a 16TH TRIPLET TIHAI. Additional terms: Taals is word for Rhythmic Patterns. A song has time signature of 4/4. = 8 beats (we mostly count in quaver or 1/8 in indian system). This 8 beat PATTERN is called as "Kehrwa Taal" in indian system. 3/4 rhythm = 6 beat Pattern is Called "Dadra TAAL". 6/8 rhythm= 12 Beat Pattern is called "Khimta Taal" of Punjab which is Semi-quaver or 1/16th count per beat. It is also used as variation of Dadra Taal(6beat Pattern). Mostly 12 beat will be BULERIAS in Flamenco music as per the Playing Technique ,BUT i read that Flamenco considers 3/4 as BULERIAS and NOT 6/8 similiar to western music. Indian Music is diffferent in rhythms and we can use 3/4 and 6/8 interchangeably as per the FEEL of the song. Some additional info: Tihai is typical to indian music and not even the western music has it. But Tihai has become more common in india and is part of india POP music like bollywood music and fusion of Jazz and indian music.

Our pleasure!

That's a POPercussion Big Bass cajon that Kassandra is playing. Cheers, Kai
