[TANGO-L] (fwd) Re: [TANGO-L] Chacarera

[Ed Loomis <TangoBear @OSBTOWN.COM>]

Hi folks,
     Complicating all of this is the fact that not all Chacareras are
created equal. Besides the Chacarera Simple with an eight measure
introduction and eight measure vuelta enteras there are Chacarera Truncas,
Chacarera Dobles, and a Chacarera Simple with a six measure intro and six
measure Vuelta enteras. When you finally find that CD with Chacareras on it
to buy don't be shocked if the choreography you have learned doesn't fit
any of the music. The folkloric dances are lots of fun and not anywhere
near as technical as tango but they are another cultural niche that you can
wander off into and get lost in, what with Gato, Zamba, Escondido, and
Malambo too. I've just scratched the surface of it myself.  Have fun.
Ciao............
