Re: [TANGO-L] Bordoneo y 900

[Rubén Carlos Terbalca <rubenmilonga @SINECTIS.COM.AR>]

Alberto,
es por la alternancia netre milonga campera y ciudadana. En esa milonga se
alternan las 2 formas
Por eso es "Y", y no "del".
No es Bordoneo "del" 900 porque el bordoneo es el precedente campero y el
"900" es la evolucion urbana.-
Se trata de 2 formas alternadas en dicha pieza.
Ruben

900 , since when talking about the music and/or the beginning of the XX
century , the word most commonly used was "del/from" , like the title of
another theme "Milonga del 900" .
