The cante flamenco (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈkante flaˈmeŋko]) meaning flamenco song is one of the three main components of flamenco along with toque (playing the guitar) and baile (dance). Because the dancer is front and center in a flamenco performance foreigners often assume the dance is the most important aspect of the art form – but in fact it is the cante which is the heart and soul of the genre.
