Tangos

Encyclopedia : T : TA : TAN : Tangos

Tangos is a flamenco cante closely related in form and feeling to the Rumba. It is often performed as a finale to a Tientos. Its compas and llamada are the same as that of the Farruca and share the Farruca's lively nature. However, Tangos is normally performed in the A Phrygian mode.

Tangos flamenco is not related to Argentine Tango, besides binary compás (rhythm).
