| Soniquete is the predisposition and ease flamenco artists
have to develop the rhythm in the compás styles: soleá,
soleá through bulerías, alegrías, bulerías,
siguiriyas, tangos...
Pepe, Spain
Soniquete comes from the word “son”, which means
compás, rhythm. This word is most often used to refer
to the compás of bulerías and is its backbone.
As a young Potito sang on Paco de Lucía's album ‘Zyryab’,
“if you haven't got soniquete, what are you in it for?”
David, Spain
Soniquete is the feeling of the flamenco cante, baile and
toque within the compás. It's like when someone cooking
instinctively knows how much salt he has to add, but he can't
say how much salt it was... It's what makes the music sound
flamenco naturally.
Sharon Sagi, Israel
Soniquete is knowing how to be in compás and having
flamenco rhythm in your body.
Santikos, Spain
Soniquete is the musical rhythm a person carries within.
Javare, Spain
Soniquete is having compás in your head and rhythm
in your body.
Miguel, Spain
Soniquete: rhythm, compás which is highly-defined
and beautiful at the same time.
Raúl Morales, Spain
Soniquete is the special touch an artist has or not in his
artform. It's something more than having technique, knowledge
of compás and sureness when performing; it's having
spirit, swing, adding a special flavor to the art.
Vanessa Luchtemberg, Brazil
Soniquete is the right balance of expression and flavor from
the soul, with true knowledge of flamenco music, through energy,
stress and creativity captured in an instrument.
Javier Hinojosa, USA
Soniquete is compás, the way the clapping, cante and
guitar sound.
Juan Manuel Ramírez, Spain
Soniquete... I couldn't define it, but an image that totally
expresses what soniquete is is to see Carmen Amaya beating
the table with her hands before coming out to dance in a scene
in the film ‘Los Tarantos’.
Jose Antonio, Spain
Soniquete is making rhythm, carrying compás, making
soniquete for the cantaor(a) or the bailaor(a) or the guitarist...
with clapping, with the box drum.
Homero Alonso, Spain
Soniquete is a rhythmic passage that is repeated within a
musical composition and which is generally catchy and prone
to being repeated and hummed repeatedly.
Teresa, Spain
Soniquete is the sound of the score in your head, it's what
you have to record in your heart to mark your inner rhythm,
in order to do it with your feet, with your hands...
