[Alberto Gesualdi]

Dear friends from tango list

I have the law for milongas , approved by the town hall parliament of buenos aires on december 2006. It will be issued today , for legal enforce. It is a bit long to translate , since it is all in spanish.

But there is somethign interesting: one of the chapters, clearly define what kind of music will have to be played at the milonga to be considered and approved. I will translate this part , and if any of you wants the complete text in spanish, I can send it by private mail

warm regards
alberto
