Fandango-Traditional Spanish By Valérie Duchâteau Fandango is a Spanish couple dance based on a 3/4 or 6/8 rhythm. The proposed piece is built on the so-called "Phrygian" mode, with a strong oriental evocation due to the augmented second interval between F and G# that characterizes it. Technically and musically, moving the E major chord (bars 1-2) one fret is a flamenco classic. From bar 13, stop the strings to emphasize the solemn character, and bring out the rasgueado chords.
