FalsetaA Falseta is part of a Flamenco song, much as a sentence is part of a paragraph. The artists improvise their own falsetas which are then put together to form the whole song. Most Flamenco forms have strongly defined rhythmic patterns. Examples The Soleares and Alegrias are 4 measures of 3/4 time with falsetas consisting of 12 beats, with emphasis as follows: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 The Farrucas are 2 measures of 4/4 time, the falsetas each having of 8 beats: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Most other forms follow these two basic rhythms, though there can be considerable variation, such as the Granadina.
