Flamenco — Ukulele

Latin styles mostly ask for a fuller, deeper backing than four short strings provide, so the ukulele sits at the edge here: it can lend a light strum to a bolero or rumba, but salsa, tango and flamenco lie outside its comfort zone. There's a harmonic color that instantly evokes southern Spain: the dramatic intensity of flamenco, a music of clapping, song and dance charged with emotion. Here you'll study the Andalusian cadence — which simply means the descending four-chord sequence that gives the style its unmistakable flavor.
