Malaguena is one of the varieties of fandango, whose 
birthplace, as the name implies, is the city of Malaga. 
Many famous classical composers drew their 
inspiration from its rich and emotional melody. The 
tonality is in A minor, the mood is E-Phrygian. In some 
of the verses, the tonality changes to C major. the 
rhythm is usually free, but in the case of 
accompaniment to the dancers, the guitarist must 
strictly adhere to the established size and pace. The 
following example is a typical malagen dance. It is 
played in the amount of 3/4 (three beats in tact with an 
emphasis on the 1st beat).
