Abstract

Flamenco as oral tradition music, has developed its formal structures based on folkloric and cultural foundations typical of tradition. Since its inception, the symbolic values, essential in popular culture, have converged in flamenco music together with harmonic, melodic, rhythmic and instrumental elements. The recognition of the symbol as a cultural component and its relationship with musical materials, provides new channels of information to the meaning of the configuration of the different flamenco styles.

In this study, a series of musical and symbolic aspects related to numbers are analyzed, which suggest different relationships with rhythmic concepts of the bulerías rhythm.
