Dr. Compás Flamenco Metronome App

Dr. Compás is a metronome app which uses real palmas & cajon to create rhythm tracks with adjustable tempos. Includes a range of common palos with an "improvise" function which gives a dynamic feel. Great for practicing singing, dance, palmas & guitar.

Flamenco Music Encyclopedia with Audio Clips

Radiolé's stellar site "Flamenco de la A a la Z" is a treasure trove of information and audio clips for various palos and subforms.
