In this paper, we present a series of mathematical problems which throw interesting lights on flamenco music. More specifically, these are problems in discrete and computational mathematics suggested by an analytical (not compositional) examination of flamenco “cante” (singing). As a consequence, since the problems are taken from a culturally specific context, the examples can make more effective mathematics education.
