RE: Are these flamenquitos tangos or... (in reply to mark74)
this also confuses me, because i see rumba por tangos or tango por rumbas a lot of places...is it the right had technique that makes it rumba, while the compas and chord progression make it tango...or is it just the cante?
is there a different right had pattern for rumba por tango...it seems like most flamenco-pop is written in this format
RE: Are these flamenquitos tangos or... (in reply to mark74)
rumba-tangos is a lot more faster than tangos, it is just something between Rumba and Tangos you probably hear it a lot in fiestas and juergas muy festero

In the palmas and in the section at 2:19..that sounds like a tangos cante to me
Yeah, that part is an estrebillo (a chorus). It changes the harmony to something with more andalusian flavor, but that's not a tangos, it's still rumba.

Also I did look at that and left even more confused
Welcome to the club!

And yes tangos came from Argentina, like colombianas came from Colombia, fandangos from Mexico or Perú and guajiras from Cuba, etc. Its called "ida y vuelta" because the rythms were influenced between Spain and Latin America during the colony and after the independence. And if 'm not wrong rumbas also came from Cuba.

In my opinion the first one is a mix of pop, jazz, rumba and tangos, the second one is pop-rumba with tangos, but maybe I'm wrong. For me these kind of songs are difficult to categorize because they are mixed.

Fué un ejemplo de oración para Ricardo. Se me vino a la mente en ese momento, no lo hice con motivos de alarde, pero si estoy estudiando ingenieria electronica.
