A# Andalusian Cadencei – VII – VI – V

The A# Andalusian Cadence (A#m – G# – F# – F) is a descending minor progression rooted in Flamenco. Its dramatic resolution to a major V chord creates intense, fatalistic tension. With seventh voicings (A#m7 – G#7 – F#Maj7 – F7), it gains an even richer, darker color.
