[Tango-L] El Lloron

[Andy Ungureanu]

  The question is not dumb, because most djs play "El lloron" as a milonga.
The score is written as "Tango" and not even as "Tango Milonga". The 
structure of the bass line is "long-short-short" that is close but 
different than  the milonga rhythm which is "longer-very 
short-short-short". The melody line has some bars in a milonga pattern. 
The song can be interpreted as a milonga, but the Canaro/Fama version is 
IMHO not a milonga. It can be dansed as a milonga but it does not have 
the clear milonga feeling like "milonga de Buenos Aires" or "Milonga 
criolla" by Canaro.

Cheers
Andy
