agree  Maria Rosich Andreu: caña is a kind of folk song typical from Andalusia, maybe that is what comes in the text

Caña


Explanation:
Caña is a reed percussion instrument instrument in Spain, see

http://teleline.terra.es/personal/sondelcordel/instrumentos....

BUT is also a quena - type instrument in South America (this is a type of flute or recorder)
http://www.cincosiglos.org/flauta.htm
http://home.enter.vg/maiorg/charanguito/december/danzas_vall...

TO decide which you need to know the context, but in either case the name doesn't have a translation, just an equivalent (Caña-percussion instrument OR Caña-flute)

Apart from that, I agree with Elding's translations, guitarra mayor is used for Tangos

If the three are together, it\'s probably the percussion instrument (see http://www.carvaca.org/t_php?men=189lan=es, it\'s about a spanish festival where the bands or cuadrills use those instruments)
