Mastering the Sevillanas Groove
Vamonos Que Nos Vamos is a quintessential party track from Los Del Rio, the duo famous for the Macarena. While it doesn't demand the high-altitude vocal acrobatics of rock operas, it presents a different challenge: relentless rhythm and infectious energy. The song is rooted in the "Rumba Flamenca" and "Sevillanas" style, meaning the vocals act almost like percussion instruments.
To sing this effectively, you need to stay right on the front edge of the beat. The delivery is conversational but projected, requiring a technique that sits comfortably in the chest voice while maintaining a bright, festive tone.
AI Coach Tip: Watch Your Diction
The most common mistake users make is slurring the Spanish lyrics during the fast sections. Our analysis shows that over-articulating the consonants (T's and R's) improves timing scores by an average of 15%.
Phase 1: The Verses (Rhythm & Flow)
The verses in A Major are delivered in a rapid-fire style. You don't need a lot of breathy air here; you need compression. Think of speaking loudly to a friend across a noisy dinner table.
The Trap: Falling behind the beat. The guitar strumming is very strict. If you drag your vowels, you will lose the pocket. Practice the lyrics slowly to get the tongue-twisters right, then speed up to tempo.
Phase 2: The Chorus Hook
The titular line "Vamonos que nos vamos" is the hook of the song. This is sung in harmony. Los Del Rio often utilize thirds—one voice singing the melody, the other singing a third below or above.
- Vowel Shape: Keep your vowels (A, E, I, O, U) very pure and bright. Avoid the "schwa" sound common in English.
- Placement: Keep the sound forward, vibrating in your "mask" (nose and cheekbones). This gives it that piercing Andalusian quality.
- Dynamics: The chorus should step up in volume. Give it a burst of energy to contrast with the verses.
Phase 3: The Andalusian Inflection
Part of the charm of this song is the specific accent and stylistic flourishes. You might hear slides up to notes or a slight grit in the voice. This isn't just about hitting the pitch A3 or C#4; it's about sliding into them with attitude.
Don't be afraid to add a little nasal resonance. In classical singing, this is often discouraged, but in this genre, it helps the voice cut through the guitars and handclaps.

Not necessarily, but you need to mimic the pronunciation closely. The app breaks down the lyrics phonetically to help you master the "R" rolls and vowel sounds.
It sits comfortably in a middle range. Tenors might find the lower verses (A2 area) a bit quiet, but the chorus sits perfectly in the speaking range. You can transpose up +2 semitones if needed.
The lyrics are dense. Learn to take "sip breaths"—quick, small inhalations through the mouth between phrases—rather than deep lung-filling breaths which take too long.
