Most of the stuff was compsed late in the 1800's or early in the 1900's. If it's from south america, you usually know the composers and are sure they are where they are from. When musicians play flamenco (usually a phony jazzy light version) and they are not form spain and not at all gypsy, I say it's not flamenco. So I guess it's the same as Manga. Real flamenco is from spain, other stuff is imitation.
