tango
'der Tango' and 'der Flamenco' can both have to do with dance and music. That is why they can easily be confused, especially if you are only thinking of passionate dances. 'Tango' is a partner dance from Argentina and Uruguay; the music for it is also called Tango. 'Flamenco' comes from Andalusia in Spain and combines singing, guitar, and a very expressive dance. A practical tip: with Tango, you often think of a dance couple; with Flamenco, you think of Spanish music, singing, guitar, and strong movements.
