The Spanish men's soccer/futbol team employed the sixteenth notes rhythm TIKITAKA when they played in the world cup 2, 3 cycles ago. Sorry I have to put this in.

RE: how to count sixteenth notes in ... (in reply to silddx)
While I was a classically trained trumpet playing kid, the answer I gave was what I picked up from my Spanish speaking classical friends. I'm not surprised that flamencos say something different.
My trumpeting friends also imitated double-tonguing: "tiki-taka," and triple-tonguing: "tikiti-takata".
