The spanish word is Estacado.
Staccatto is italian.
The most common chord progression is:
Am-G-F-E
Notice how at the end of the progression you resolve from "F" to "E", [half step] which are the 1st and 2nd of "E Phrygian";
that is why the Phrygian mode works so well.
Spice it up with an "A Minor Harmonic" and using finger picking style. Disfruta!
