On Thursday 4th May 2023, we revisit songs in Spanish, which we began a year ago for Cinco de Mayo. Join us in 3 Chord Thursday for this festive occasion with festive hispanic colors (see below). Check out the ten fun Spanish ukulele songs.
Our opening warm-up lesson will introduce the Andalucian cadence, which is a minor chord progression commonly used in Flamenco music: i–♭VII–♭VI–V (or V7) and back to i (in minor mode) or vi-V-IV-III (or III7) (in major key).
