[Spanish, song]

The term has been used generically to mean "song", but more specifically it refers to a refrain song of the period between c. 1450 - 1530. Also, it was used in the 16th century to mean a song which set Italianate poems in Castilian, and sometimes it referred to arrangements of French chansons of the same period.
