Farruca
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Farruca is a form of Flamenco music, probably originating in the Galicia region of north-western Spain. It is a light form typical of cante chico, and is traditionally danced only by men. It is seldom sung.
The farruca is commonly played in the key of A minor, with each falseta being 2 measures of 4/4 time with emphasis on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th beats: [1] 2 [3] 4 [5] 6 [7] 8
"Farruca" is also a well-known song composed by Mary Ann Godla
