The cantiñas (Spanish pronunciation: [kanˈtiɲas]) is a group of flamenco palos (musical forms) 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).
