In Alegrias and Solea por Bulerias, Kai does golpes on 4 5 6 11 12. I thought golpes go on 3 6 8 10 12. Please explain.
IMO: I don't think there are any strict rules for where you MUST golpe. The ACCENTS of a 12-beat compas usually fall on beats 3, 6, 8, 10 and 12, but these are accents and not places where you are "supposed" to golpe. Feel free to golpe on any down-beat or off-beat so long as it sounds good to you and you are adhering to the rules/guidelines of whatever palo you are playing.
