Hola!
You mean compas?
compas is the beat,rhythm, measure of flamenco.
Yes you have a distinctive compas for tangos close to tanguillos and Rumba...
First you have diffrent form of palos:you have the cante jondo(sigiriyas,solea,tientos,cante intermedio...),the cante intermedio with bulerias and the cante chico(alegrias,farruca,fandango,sevillana...)

You have two main compas families in flamenco...The tango belongs to the first one :2/4,4/4 with other palos like farruca,tientos,taranto,tanguillo,garrotin,rumba...
The second family of compas refers to the 3/4,6/8 forms with palos like bulerias,soleares,alegrias,fandangos,malaguena...

All flamenco compas is composed by 12 beats with a particular accent for the different palos(bulerias,soleares...)

Saludos!
