Add in the booklet by Lucio J. Bruno-Videla included with the 3CD set "One Century and a bonus. A history of tango" by Leonardo Marconi Quinteto & guests, particularly on the structure.


> Joaquin Amenabar in his book "Tango, Let's Dance to the Music"  
> describes modern Tango as having two elements, a basic four-beat count  
> and a melodic phrase with its own rhythmic accents that are not tied  
> to any fixed rhythmic pattern.  Each phrase has its own accents  
> according to the melody, so the rhythm of tango is not a fixed  
> rhythmic pattern anymore.
