About the Class
In this class we will learn to sing this pretty and playful style of flamenco that is often called a "Cante de ida y vuelta", meaning that it is a flamenco style that is highly influenced by Central American music from the Spanish colonial times (in this case specifically Cuba). This style is in the major key with a 12 count flamenco rhythm with romantic lyrics often describing the beauty of being in Cuba. Commonly danced as a solo with a fan, we would learn the salida, 2 letras and a bulerías that are typically sung for guajiras baile. The Mon & Wed intermediate dance and Wed Beg/Int guitar class will also be studying this form so there will be opportunity for collaboration. Guajiras is a less challenging style of flamenco melodically and rhythmically to learn and this class is open to all levels.
