"Should we play the music people with their limited culture perspective and ethnocentricity want to hear or ...."
Will the people with the limited cultural perspective
and ethnocentricity please stand up !
First one then another of the Tango-L posters begins
to stand the quickly sits down; LLene, Victor, Janis, Doug...
.. is it Jake???
OK..Here's Mario's take on it. I LOVE and am STRONGLY MOVED
by the classic orchestral Tango music, however one has got
to see the writing on the wall. This phenomena called the
TANGO is taking off, is rapidly evolving and so will it's
music. The dance seems to be taking on a life of it's own
and moving to different sounds...hasn't each of us found
ourselves unconsciously starting to weave into a few
tango steps while listening to a NON-TANGO song???
It's out of our hands .. there will always be the
Classic (I pray) but what's around the corner is
anyone's guess. I'm hoping for new live music
from groups who play at Milonga's not just recording
studios. With Sandra's help, we shall get it!
