Alegrías [144 bpm]
Alegrías [144 bpm] A basic alegrías rhythm played with cajón and palmas, this time just a bit faster. As with the "Alegrías 120" metronome, the compás here accents the 3, 6, 8, 10, and 12 beats of the 12 beat cycle. When playing with others, this is a palo that can accomodate some "push and pull" tempo-wise. Although alegrías can certainly go faster than this, being able to play cleanly at this tempo should get you through many of the more lively sections of dance accompaniment or instrumental playing.
