Re: [TANGO-L] : Tango DJs

I prefer the golden age music, and the more rhythmic
music, but I am coming to like more orchestras as I
hear them repeatedly. So I would never say a milonga
should have only the music I like and that I feel
comfortable dancing to.  I would appreciate it,
though, if the less rhythmic music were scattered
through the milonga, rather than being concentrated in
a series of successive tandas.

I know some dj's are trying to build the evening and
that they want to avoid radical jumps in the mood of
the evening.  But I am a lot more appreciative of
music I have not yet learned to like if it is preceded
and followed by music I find comprehensible and
amusing.  Look at it this way - three tandas of tense,
dramatic music that plays with the rhythm, etc., with
cortinas, is somewhere between thirty and forty-five
minutes.  That's a long time to spend chatting and
snacking at an event which you attended bacuse you
wanted to dance.  If I sit out one tanda I usually
enjoy the music and the company; two, and I'm getting
antsy; three and I'm wondering if music I find
danceable is coming back; four and I'm really going
home.
