I opened the pandora box of home recording and video editing... and now there's no stopping me. I'm turning into a youtuber.
In this video, I'm taking a shot at Flamenco with no guitar, no palmas, just vocal harmonies and beatbox. Let me know what you think in the comments on YouTube! Soleá de Alcalá is said to have been sung by the gitanos who lived in Alcalá de Guadaira at the end of the 19th century. Joaquin el de la Paula is the creator of the melodies I sing in this video.
Here are the lyrics :
¿A quién le contaré yo
Las fatiguitas que yo paso?
Se las voy a contar a la tierra
Cuando me estén enterrando
(Dices) que no me querías
Cuando adelante tú me tienes
El sentido te varía
Ay que te quiero
Pero de lache no te lo peno
And here's a little translation :
Who will I tell about
The troubles that I’m in ?
I will tell the earth
On the day they bury me
(You say) you didn’t love me
When I am in front of you
Your feelings vary
I love you but, out of shame,
I don’t impose it on you
