Dear Igo,

I am sorry to disappoint you. My knowledge of Tango
musical history is not
as sharp as yours.

For that very reason I have listen and learned much

>from the 'experts' and

'scholars'. I have however spoken of cultural
positioning, global
contribution to the development of art, national
identity and artistic
performance. I will gladly engage and educate you off
the list ;)

As for my claim that Argentine disowned Tango just to
later reclaim it...
this remains unchanged. Just look at how anxious
Argentines were to mimic
Paris architecture and urban design. Parts of South
America have always
longed to resemble the old country..... I am sure you
can understand with a
minimal intellectual effort.

If not, a brief reading on the history of colonialism
in South America
should enlighten you.

Now... our friend Konstantin seems to be a good
source. Any comments on Igor
questions anyone???

Amaury
