Re: [TANGO-L] let's find a new name insted of this silly old milonguero style thing (and what is what anyway?)

[astrid <astrid @RUBY.PLALA.OR.JP>]

I read the interview with Yvonne Meissner on the kidojo-link. So, if I get
this right, tango milonguero is really just another name for and/or a
subcategory of tango salon, which brings us back to the old point of
controversy that tango milonguero is often called tango salon in Europe, and
what is considered to be tango salon in the United States, is really a form
of tango fantasia. Is that correct ? (If it is, it's what I have been
suspecting all along)
What do you say, Patricia ? Is that how one could summarise your interview ?
By the way, in the tango encyclopedia (H. Salgan) I read, I do not recall
seeing the name "tango liso", but instead they kept mentioning the term
"tango para las hermanas" (tango for the sisters) which is a style "sin
cortes y quebradas", meaning devoid of all the sexual connotations,
nonflirtatious and very simple, you don't have to hang around the milongas
frequently to master it, and therefore good enough for the well guarded
little sisters of the lounge lizards...
An afterthought: to contribute to the confusion, maybe we could distinguish
between tango milonguero and tango milonguero apilado as well, as some
people insist that tango milonguero is danced in a completely upright
position with no sharing of the axis ?
