[TANGO-L] Tango music, a violin technique question

["tho x. bui" <blahx3@EARTHLINK.NET>]

Howdy.

In tango music, there are many instances where the violinist make a
rhythmic scratching sound by bowing slightly _behind_ the bridge.
I have the sheetmusic of "Tango for 4" by Piazzolla where this technique
is called "sandpaper."

What is it called in Argentina, and/or is "sandpaper" a direct translation?

Thanks,

Tho
