Paco de Lucía, 1973. Solo by *Paco de Lucía*.

A bulería from Fuente y caudal full of rhythmic displacement and quick falsetas.

Cepa Andaluza is a bulería from Fuente y caudal, full of rhythmic displacement and quick falsetas. Paco de Lucía plays with the bulería's twelve-beat cycle, shifting accents and surprising the ear. His falsetas are brief and sparkling, each one a small burst of invention. The track shows his rhythmic brilliance within a traditional form, recorded early in his career when he was already rewriting what the guitar could do in bulerías. Listen for the moments where the accents seem to fall in unexpected places, then snap back into the bulería's pattern, showing his playful command of compás.
