[TANGO-L] Question on Alternative Music



Hi all,

I am trying to figure out what is it about alternative
music (such as the tango renditions of Beatles tunes,
just as one example) that encourages the longer,
flowing movements of Nuevo.  The melody?  More marcato
in 2?  Some other term I am clueless on?

What I am thinking is that the music of DArienzo, for
example, really encourages the QQS vocabulary with the
smaller steps used by central B.A. dancers.  If tango
styles developed along musical lines (as well, as
space issues) what would then be the musical change
for Nuevo, as being developed on the West Coast.  Any
ideas?

Thanks,
Trini de Pittsburgh
