soleá
Deep flamenco form
Soleá is a form of flamenco song and dance from Andalusia, Spain, considered one of the genre's foundational styles.
Characterized by a slow, solemn 12-beat rhythmic pattern and deep emotional intensity, it serves as a template from which many other flamenco forms derive.
The mood is typically melancholic, expressing themes of loneliness and sorrow: She performed a soleá that silenced the room.
Plural: soleares.
