[Tango-L] No Nuevo (as a style) - according to the Naveiras

[tony parkes]

i have only ever been to club bohemios in la boca cherie and it fits in with
everything you have listed..... except for one thing......

the bodyguard to escort our foursome back to the main drag to catch a cab.
the taxis would not come when we rang (twice) and my streetwise porteña was
in no way going to walk the one cuadro without a local caballero

only in bs.as ??

cheers
tony
