The cantiñas (Spanish pronunciation: [kanˈtiɲas]) is a group of flamencopalos (musical forms), that originated in the area of Cádiz in Andalusia (although some styles of cantiña have developed in the province of Seville). They share the same compás or rhythmic pattern with the soleá and are usually sung in a lively rhythm (between 120 and 160 beats per minute). They are normally sung in a major mode and have a festive mood. - Wikipedia
