Bulería is extraordinarily attractive and popular and we all want to be good at it, as soon as possible. We all want to be able to dance play or sing por bulería freely, with confidence and have fun in a "fiesta por bulería" or a "fin de fiesta por bulería".

To truly grasp and practice bulería effectively, it's crucial to start with a clear understanding of its complexities, to be able break them down and finally overcome them, but in an informed, coherent and strategic way.

Realtime improvised bulería, sometimes called "por fiesta," whether on stage or during a fiesta or a juerga* (party or jam), encapsulates all the greatest challenges of flamenco:

It is highly spontaneous and improvised and you can't rely on a preestablished itinerary or a choreography
Interactions between cante, guitar, and baile are constant and complex
The compás is intricate, multidimensional and polyrhythmic, part of the group I call the "multidemensional troublemakers" (link)
The tempo is usually fast, which makes everything much more difficult because:
Structures unfold at a very fast pace,
And the rapid cues (llamadas, remates, cierres) require quick reactions and precise rhythmic execution.

Truly mastering the bulería is actually just the tip of the iceberg, but beneath the surface lies the heavy lifting, invisible but essential.

Our ability to perform for real (means interact and improvise, not just repeat choreographies) relies on knowing and mastering these 3 key elements:
Rhythm, compás
Cante
Language (Structures and codes)
