Andalusian cadence
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In music theory, the Andalusian cadence is a cadence, a chord progression that ends a phrase, section, or piece of music, commonly found in Flamenco music. It is designated as a (iv - III- II - I) progression. Since much of the music is played in two keys, each is now called by its own distinctive name. One is por arriba, played in the key of E, comprises the following chord progression (Am - G - F - E) and por medio, played in the key of A, with (Dm - C - Bb - A).
