Subject: Mystery songs
Fellow tangueros/as,
I'm trying to find a couple of songs. Maybe someone can help me. They are
both milongas and great dancing numbers. One I know as "Parque Patricio" but
not sure of artist, maybe Lomuto? The other is called "El Divorcio" (the
divorce), with a very infectious melody line, and the singer interjecting
talking phrases between some of the sung ones. Don't know the artist but
can't forget the song :-)
Any help would be much appreciated.

Sabine,
I have the CD. Got it at Tower Records. I'll send you the
album info tomorrow. It is not a compilation. It's a guy
(BTW, I think his name is Thierry not Phierry) who plays
tangos and milongas on a trumpet. Peculiar. Definitely
not to be played at a milonga. Think Canadian Brass playing
tangos except that it's only one trumpet.

The problem here is that someone who is intuitively musical will thus be
classified as an Intermediate (or even Advanced) dancer the moment they
have taken their first AT lesson, even though their dance skills are not up
to the musicality they instinctively demonstrate. The ability to step and
move with balance and grace (and in partnership with your dance partner) is
unrelated to the ability to hear and interpret the music.

Subject: 1) Lunfardo & 2) Spanish List
I'm a Latin American geographer who works as a university Spanish
instructor and translator. My specialty is Rioplatense language & culture.
Right now I'm working on a book about Lunfardo, which I've been researching
for 6 years -- I spend Spring & Fall in Baires, my second home. Since I'm
coming to the end of the project, I'm double-checking everything & looking
"one last time" for long-lost leads I've heard about. I understand that
there's an out-of-print multi-media CD-ROM about the history of tango which
included a Lunfardo glossary. I'd like to know if anyone in the list has it
-- or at least knows the title or can confirm that it contains a glossary.
Perhaps I should emphasize that I'm looking for Lunfa terms used in the
lyrics, not for Spanish terms used to describe dance moves, etc.
Any information would be welcome and appreciated.
Also, I'd like to know if there's a Spanish-language tango list.
MTIA,
Kate

Well, I've got an up-date & I thought I would share this in case anyone
else is interested:
The now-unavailable multi-media CDROM is "Un Siglo de Tango" -- it's in
Spanish & has a few hundred tango lyrics, many film clips, a few dozen
biographies, several complete recordings & a 3500-term lunfardo dictionary.
If anyone has this, please email me privately.
Thanks!
