Sevillanas [120 bpm]
Sevillanas [120 bpm] The compás for Sevillanas can be counted simply in "threes," with the accent beat on the "one" of each group of three beats. But flamenco is rarely this simple, and neither is Sevillanas: riding along with Sevillanas's waltzy 3/4 is a 2/4 "feel" (for lack of a better term) that drives many of the chord and melodic changes. This metronome will help you get a feel both for this rhythmic particularity of Sevillanas and for Sevillanas's particular song structure. For more information on that structure and for more detail on Sevillanas as dance accompaniment, see the RF article "Dance Accompaniment: Sevillanas."
