The Palmas are the underlying structure of any Palo, so the better you know them the better you’ll feel the compás. We can’t recommend strongly enough that you spend some time with the Palmas as you learn to play compás por Tangos. As you learn to feel the Palmas you will begin to feel more free with the compás, with your falsetas, and with every aspect of Tangos

Tangos Explained - Estribillo Falseta...
This falseta is based on an Estribillo, or chorus, of a sung Tangos. It’s groovy and very playable, though the tag at the end can be just a bit challenging. You don’t have to play that tag, but it’s a fun one to learn and good for practicing your arpeggio to picado transition.
