An interactive metronome for a traditional flamenco tango, played with cajon and palmas.

A basic flamenco tango rhythm, played here with cajon and palmas. The compas of tango accents the 2, 3, and 4 beats of a four beat cycle. Cycles are commonly paired up together, giving musical phrases in 8’s.

As is usually the case with the traditional tango, the “one” count for this metronome is silent. Be sure to pay attention to your phrasing so that you don’t start playing on the “two” and end up one beat fuera de compas (i.e. one beat out of phase).
