To his father who died that day.

2.Milonga de angel

". The milonga of an angel. A milonga is a dance. Or a tango place where
people gather to dance. 2 meanings.

> 3. Danza crilla (Crilla Dance?)

I don't know how you came up with this spelling, it is "criolla" and is
called creole in other languages, I think. It means, Spaniards who became
the inhabitants of Argentina, and partly mixed their blood with the Indios.

> 4. Tres movimientos tanguisticos portenos

3 Buenos Aires style tango movements

> 5. Tangazo (tango?)

A great tango

> 6. Oblivion (just a noun ?)

look it up in the English dictionary. Since this is an orchestral piece, I
can't say. Maybe Sergio can help with the rest.
