Cierra los ojos en un tablao. Antes de ver nada, ya lo has o\u00eddo. Un golpe seco sobre la madera. Despu\u00e9s otro. Despu\u00e9s diez a la vez, tan r\u00e1pidos que el o\u00eddo no los distingue. <\/span>Eso es el taconeo flamenco. No decoraci\u00f3n. No acompa\u00f1amiento. El centro de todo.<\/b><\/p>\n

Qu\u00e9 es el taconeo flamenco<\/b><\/h2>\n

Los pies del bailaor son un instrumento. Igual que la guitarra, igual que las palmas. La diferencia es que este instrumento pesa setenta kilos y respira.<\/span><\/p>\n

El zapateado flamenco es la t\u00e9cnica por la que los pies construyen ritmo sobre la madera. No se desplazan \u2014 hablan. Y lo hacen con un calzado dise\u00f1ado para eso: botas y zapatos con clavos en la punta y en el tac\u00f3n, limados a mano para que el sonido salga limpio. Seco. Sin eco sucio.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sin esos clavos, el golpe se apaga. Con ellos, cada impacto tiene nombre propio.<\/b><\/p>\n

Origen del taconeo en el flamenco<\/b><\/h2>\n

El flamenco del siglo XVIII no ten\u00eda esto. Era cante. Era guitarra. Era palmas. El baile exist\u00eda, pero nadie lo consideraba lo m\u00e1s importante.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eso cambi\u00f3 en el siglo XIX. Los Caf\u00e9s Cantantes pusieron el flamenco en escenarios p\u00fablicos, con p\u00fablico que pagaba y artistas que compet\u00edan. <\/span>Cuando hay competencia, hay innovaci\u00f3n.<\/b> El zapateado dej\u00f3 de ser adorno y se convirti\u00f3 en argumento. Absorbi\u00f3 la r\u00edtmica africana que hab\u00eda llegado por C\u00e1diz, el temperamento gitano, los patrones de las danzas populares andaluzas. Y de todo eso sali\u00f3 algo que no exist\u00eda antes.<\/span><\/p>\n

T\u00e9cnica del taconeo: planta, tac\u00f3n y punta<\/b><\/h2>\n

Tres golpes. Solo tres. Pero en las combinaciones posibles entre ellos est\u00e1 toda la complejidad del mundo.<\/span><\/p>\n

La planta<\/b> \u2014 toda la base del pie contra el suelo. Grave. Llena. El golpe que ancla el ritmo cuando todo lo dem\u00e1s vuela.<\/span><\/p>\n

El tac\u00f3n<\/b> \u2014 la parte trasera del zapato. M\u00e1s profundo todav\u00eda. Un eco que se mete en la madera y tarda en salir. Da peso a todo lo que viene despu\u00e9s.<\/span><\/p>\n

La punta<\/b> \u2014 el extremo delantero. Agudo, instant\u00e1neo, sin reverberaci\u00f3n. Es lo que permite los redobles m\u00e1s r\u00e1pidos, los contratiempos que nadie ve venir.<\/span><\/p>\n

Un bailaor que domina los tres puede hacer m\u00fasica con los pies. Uno que no los domina, solo hace ruido.<\/b><\/p>\n

El zapateado flamenco como lenguaje percusivo<\/b><\/h3>\n

El taconeo no va solo. Nunca. Es una conversaci\u00f3n con la guitarra y el cante \u2014 a veces acuerdo, a veces provocaci\u00f3n. El bailaor escucha, responde, anticipa. Y a veces se adelanta para ver si el guitarrista lo sigue.<\/span><\/p>\n

Para que esa conversaci\u00f3n funcione, <\/span>el<\/b> comp\u00e1s y ritmo flamenco<\/b><\/a> tiene que estar en el cuerpo. No en la cabeza \u2014 en el cuerpo.<\/b> Cuando est\u00e1 en la cabeza, se nota. Cuando est\u00e1 en el cuerpo, el tablao entero lo siente.<\/span><\/p>\n

Diferencias entre taconeo masculino y femenino<\/b><\/h3>\n

Hace cincuenta a\u00f1os, la pregunta ten\u00eda respuesta f\u00e1cil. El hombre taconeaba fuerte y seco. La mujer hac\u00eda todo lo dem\u00e1s \u2014 manos, torso, mirada.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hoy la pregunta ya no tiene mucho sentido. <\/span>Las bailaoras actuales taconean con una velocidad y una potencia que no le piden nada a nadie.<\/b> Y los bailaores trabajan la parte superior del cuerpo con una precisi\u00f3n que antes nadie esperaba de ellos. Lo que diferencia a un artista de otro no es el g\u00e9nero. Es el sello. La manera propia de hacer lo mismo que hacen todos los dem\u00e1s.<\/span><\/p>\n

El taconeo en el espect\u00e1culo flamenco en directo<\/b><\/h2>\n

Hay cosas que el v\u00eddeo no transmite. <\/span>El taconeo es una de ellas.<\/b><\/p>\n

En directo, a tres metros, el sonido no llega por los o\u00eddos solamente. Llega por el suelo. Por el pecho. Las tablas vibran. El aire se mueve. <\/span>Es una experiencia f\u00edsica antes que musical<\/b> \u2014 y eso no lo graba ninguna c\u00e1mara.<\/span><\/p>\n

En el Tablao Flamenco 1911, el aforo es reducido a prop\u00f3sito. No por limitaci\u00f3n \u2014 por decisi\u00f3n. Queremos que el p\u00fablico est\u00e9 cerca. Cerca de verdad. Cerca de que el taconeo no sea espect\u00e1culo sino algo que ocurre en la misma sala en la que est\u00e1s sentado.<\/span><\/p>\n
