Maybe someone would care to define the difference between art and kitsch in
Argentine tango? For those not familiar with the term "kitsch" (every German
knows it) here is an explanation from dictionary.com:

kitsch       Pronunciation[kich]
noun something of tawdry design, appearance, or content created to appeal to
popular or undiscriminating taste.
[Origin: 1925?30; < G, deriv. of kitschen to throw together (a work of art)]
?Related forms
kitschy, adjective
Sentimentality or vulgar, often pretentious bad taste, especially in the
arts: "When money tries to buy beauty it tends to purchase a kind of
courteous kitsch" (William H. Gass).
