The Jota Aragonesa is the fire-breathing folk dance of Aragon in north-eastern Spain, one of the fastest and most exhilarating in the Iberian tradition. On steel tongue drum the rapid alternating notes and driving triple metre create a thrilling, percussive momentum. The high tempo and dense note patterns present a genuine challenge for intermediate players. An electrifying taste of Aragonese folk passion on the handpan.
How to play Jota Aragonesa on a tongue drum
The numbers above are the standard tongue-drum number notation. Each digit is a note of the C Major scale, counting up from the lowest tongue. A dot above a number raises it one octave; a dot below lowers it. The small teal letters show the matching key in the Tongue Drum Online player.
Start slowly, one phrase at a time. Let each note ring out fully before striking the next — the long decay is the whole character of the instrument. This is a intermediate arrangement and a simplified, single-instrument version of Jota Aragonesa.
