Talent evident in opening couplet of flamenco tune (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flair

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'talent' is the definition.
(I know that flair is a type of talent)

'opening couplet of flamenco tune' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'tune' could be 'air' (air can mean a piece of music) and 'air' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'evident in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for flair that I've seen before include "Taste" , "gift" , "Style, talent" , "Stylish talent" , "?lan, dash" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
