4526 Sycopation problem ? (2)
Hey Jake, I don't really have a problem with syncopation.
Its just more fun to do it than to write (or read) about.
And none of us are going to transcribe, accurately, some little book of

4527 fun musical randomness (1)
Hi all,
Slightly off-topic, but...
Partly in response to Sebastian's question about
note names, and partly because I'm so easily

names of each note in Spanish,...
4528 Double time (6)
Double time?
I don't think its a case of playing a 4 minute song fast so that it takes 2
minutes.
My understanding: The underlying beat doubles but the actual melody on top
stays at the same pace. Imagine...
4529 Can we please just dance? (9)
Arrghhh all this arguing about syncopation, doubletime, triple time,
makes me crazy. Vals is the most difficult of the rhythms to dance
simply because it changes rhythms and is not consistent. Once...
4530 Hay Que Aprenden Bailar and Syncopation (1)
The Lomuto tune Hay Que Aprenden Bailar is a real stitch. The vintage dancers among you may recognize this speed as right for a Charleston or shimmy. A brief mention here about ragtime dance, the...
4531 Vals Revisited (1)

This happens because every so called Tango Diva that visits the U.S. and

Dear friends from tango list
The taxi dancers activity in Buenos Aires , have changed from their initial activity of an escorting fee from outside the milonga dancing place to the inside of the dancing...
4535 A & B (1)
A. Adornos have nothing to do with recapturing your balance. They
are a small figure that a woman can make. Sometimes the woman is to
stand still while the man adorns his dance and before they...
4536 Dancer profile in Buenos Aires (13)
I would appreciate a clarification about the Tango dancers' profile in
Buenos Aires.

I think we have a thread going about how people from Argentina don't enjoy
dancing tango, or even discussing the dance at all.
But don't most people keep their local artistic passions to themselves?

Hi Listeros,
Anyone know what are "sostenidas" or what the English
