ANSWER:
C. The melody!
In our recent Palos Class with Juan Parrilla, Evolución participants learned that although the compás (rhythmic structure) and letras (lyrics) of a song can give you clues, the best way to identify a palo is by listening to its melody. Listen to the videos below to hear how the same flamenco song lyric can be sung for different palos. Although the words are the same, the melodies are completely different.
LYRICS:
“Qué quieres de mí/si hasta el agua/que yo bebo/te la tengo que pedir”.
“What do you want from me/If even for the water that I drink/I have to beg you.”
ZAMBRA: 4 beat compás, singer Estrella Morente
TANGOS: 4 beat compás, singer La Perla de Cádiz
SOLEÁ: 12 beat compás, singer Fernanda de Utrera
