Cante is the song, Baile is the dance, and Guitarra is the guitar part of flamenco. Flamenco is a very important part of Spanish Guitar Music.

Flamenco has little in common with classical guitar because it is basically just the guitar accompaniment to Flamenco singing and dancing with guitar solos being a late development in this genre.
