solo compas - Alegrias (2 cd's)

The content is distributed into two CDs because dancing in an alegrías style is divided into several different parts: baile, silencio, escobillas,... The first CD includes the rhythms of alegrías in two speeds: slow and fast. The second one is dedicated to the study of the taconeo (a rhythmic combination of sounds made by stepping with the heel of the foot) and includes escobillas (a section of the dance that includes the zapateado, a rhythmic combination of sounds made by stepping with the toe, sole and heel of the foot) in three speeds, to practice all kinds of taconeo without interruption. The feet that can be heard are those of the bailaor (flamenco dancer) Javier Barón. Singing, José Parrondo, and on guitar, José Manuel Roldan. The hand-clapping by Manuel Salado and Juan Reina is indispensable to follow the meter.
