r/Flamenco

This is for a rhythm minigame in a videogame I'm making, I'm not trying to remix a Martinete for artistic purposes.

I can't tell by myself if this is good or bad. It feels off at times, at other times it feels good, but this may just be pure chance. I have also been going over the track back and forth way too many times now, I'm saturated.

Specific questions:

1. Is the overall speed/bpm okay or off?
2. Are there time stretches in the voice that make it impossible to overlay a fixed beat?
3. Would you accent it like this?

I myself am not very good rhythmically. A bit ironic for a flamenco aficionado, I know. It is my understanding that Martinetes/Tonás/etc can be free flowing, since they're acapella, but they also should follow a Seguiriya-like pattern, and some recordings have an anvil-hit beat overlayed (my guess that it's edited, not sure).

Perhaps my question should rather be: would this be considered an abomination of a missed rhythm, or rather, would it be passable for a minigame in a videogame to not nail this 100% perfectly?

My game is a one-man-developed indy game, so it doesn't have to be perfect, but I also don't want to make musicians (or generally people with good rhythm) cry or revolt when they get to this part of it.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: here's a recording of what it looks like in-game, although it's a bit laggy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43JYZAeaEHA

I love that! I don't like the easy listening stuff, i'm looking for that vibe of if you're not sure if they're going to fuck or fight or dance.

Hi, everyone! (Retired) flamenco dancer here. I danced flamenco quite intensively for 8 years straight in my home country, but it’s been awhile though I’d like to get back into it.

I’ve moved to Madrid (work stuff, so unfortunately I can’t stay long for flamenco in Andalucía) and would like any recommendations for flamenco (dance) classes within the M30. I’ve forgotten some technical aspects of flamenco but definitely still have the rhythm and mobility to bounce back quickly!

Can anyone recommend me any studios, orgs, or groups where I could go maybe 1-2 times a week? I’m willing to pay a student fee ofc. Thank you so much!

Hola!! Estoy buscando clases de flamenco dentro del M30 en Madrid. Me mudé aquí por trabajo, así que desafortunadamente no puedo quedarme en Andalucía mucho tiempo. Bailé flamenco durante 8 años pero llevo un tiempo sin practicar.

¿Me recomendáis un estudio, unas clases, grupos, o algo similar para volver a bailar flamenco? He olvidado unas cositas técnicas pero cuando vuelva a coger el ritmo recuperaré seguridad con el baile. Querría ir a las clases entre 1 o 2 veces por semana. Muchas gracias 🥰

I am buying a flamenco blanca and I live in Paraguay where winter humidity is con very high. How should I care for it?

Pido una guitarra artesana. Cual es la mejor profundidad de la caja para mejor sonido?
