Farruca 2010
| Farruca |
| This is just a standard Farruca rhythm with traditional falsetas that I would typically played for a dance class or short performance. There is nothing really original in it, except for any minor mistakes. It is in compas though. Farruca is a dramatic male dance in 4/4 time. It is thought to be originally a song from the northern region of Galicia. Andalucian gypsies adopted it and changed it to suit their own tastes. The Farruca is usually played in the key of A minor. Although the rhythm is strong and strictly defined, some passages begin slowly and gradually build up speed, especially in the final stages. This form is considered a man’s dance but women have also performed it to great effect (dressed in a man’s costume of course). It seems a little strange to me that a dance sometimes referred to as La Farruca, a very feminine sounding name, should have such a male aura about it. One would think that the masculine name ‘El Farruco’ would be more appropriate (and logical), but who am I to argue with tradition. |
