Tangos

Tangos, they belong to the dancing songs. A flamenco palo with "copla", with three or four octosyllable verses. Considerated like a flamenco fundamental style, with various forms. Among them we emphasize on the Tangos from Cadiz, Triana, Jerez and Malaga. All the theories indicate that the origin of the tango is between Cadiz and Sevilla, there is no relation with the tango from Argentina. The first performers were El Mellizo and Aurelio Sellés in Cádiz, Pastora Pavón and el Titi in Sevilla, Frijones and el Mojama in Jerez, and La Pirula, la Repompa and el Piyayo in Málaga.

Tientos

"Tientos", it belongs to the gypsy singing branch and it is included in the "tientos" family, dancing singing, included in the "tangos" group and binary style. In the area of classical music there is a composition called "Tiento" (singular) but it has nothing to do with the anterior definition. The "copla" contains three or four verses, octosyllables, and a refrain. Coming from the flamenco tango, even if the rhythm is slower, therefore we called it "tango tiento" primitivally.
