Today in class we try some of this fancy flamenco clapping we’ve been talking about with our simplified version of “Por Colombianas.” Colombianas is considered among the “Ida y vuelta” (“roundtrip”) palos (families of flamenco modes and rhythms), inferring that the palo originated in Spain, traveled to Colombia in the New World and then returned to become part of flamenco.
We are revising the AllAroundThisWorld.com site — the information you’re seeking may still be here, but a lot of links are broken and details may be out of date. We are currently using a new (better!) site — ExploreEverywhere.com — to tell you all about our class offerings, our “pen pal” program and how to become one of our teachers, and will eventually be moving all the goodies from here over to there. So, GO TO THE NEW SITE!
