Tango (flamenco)

The flamenco tango is distinct from the flamenco rumba primarily through the guitar playing. In Rumba the guitar flows more freely, whereas in Tangos the accents on beats 2, 3, and 4 are marked clearly with heavy strumming.

Tangos is only vaguely related to Argentine tango, and objectively they only share compás binario or double stroke rhythm. The fact that Argentine tango is one of the first couple dances in America has led historians to believe that both could be based in a minuet-style European dance, therefore sharing a common ancestor, while those who compare the present day forms do not see them as related.

Example Lyrics

Triana, Triana,
qué bonita está Triana, (Triana, how beautiful it is!)
qué bonita está Triana, qué bonita está Triana
cuando le ponen al puente
la banderita gitana (when we put the gypsy banners on the bridge.)
