The misplaced modifier in the given sentence is “Characterized by rhythmic hand clapping, acoustic guitar, and improvised dancing.” It creates confusion because it seems to modify “music historians,” when it should modify “flamenco music.” To correct it, you can rephrase the sentence to clarify the intended meaning, like: “Flamenco music, characterized by rhythmic hand clapping, acoustic guitar, and improvised dancing, originally consisted of singing and beating a staff or cane on the ground, according to music historians.”
