Summary of This Method
Designed as a reliable gateway into the world of flamenco, this method offers, for the first time, an overview of the main palos studied from a strictly musical and rhythmic perspective. The goal is clear: to help you internalize the compás, recognize the cycles, feel the accents, and build a playing style that is precise, lively, and authentic. To follow the work under good conditions, it is necessary to know how to read music, as the exercises and rhythms are presented in notation and rely on the CD (a major asset for working on timing and consistency).
The method focuses on the cajón and the tinaja, guiding you through essential strikes, sound combinations, and typical flamenco sequences. Additionally, it offers a wealth of ideas adaptable to other percussion instruments (congas, bongós, bata, drum set), making it also an excellent resource for percussionists wishing to broaden their palette and better interact with guitarists, singers, and dancers.
You will also find the palmas toques of many essential styles: bulerías, tangos, soleás, rumbas, tanguillos, fandangos, guajiras, and many more. A valuable resource for understanding the role of palmas in rhythmic architecture, working on collective energy, and developing a reliable pulse. Driven by Nan Mercader's vision, this method advocates for a deep and vibrant flamenco, where rhythmic rigor serves expression, "the depth... and the chispa" unique to this music.
