Hi list!

Someone wrote:  Tango is a dance that is danced 2x4.

Since De Caro establish  the rules for tango theory, Tango is in 4 X 4.
The  trade mark Tango =  2X4 comes from a popular knowledge from the 1800's.
We don't have real evidence about how tango sounded (in his spirit) when it
was 2/4. The tango we listen is 4/4 metre ie. Gardel, Biaggi, Caló,
Laurenz, Tanturi, Troilo etc.
