Non-tango music

A couple of years after that holiday I came across this advert (in italics) for a milonga in Aberdeen, Scotland. I sent the advert to a friend, 'A', whose remark follows, in square brackets. 

“Tango with a Twist - Alternative milonga”:

Hi all tangueras and tangueros :-) and Dance lovers. 

Due to the success of the last Alternative Milonga, where there was lots of funky fun to some pretty tasty tunes, you will be glad to hear, that :-) there is another one being held for those who enjoy dancing Argentine Tango. It will be the same format as the previous dance, ie fun, funky and informal. Oh, the music. yes, the music...

Well, Ive been dancing Argentine Tango for 2 and a half years. In that time Ive listened to many beautiful tracks from the golden age of tango where the bandoneon and the orchestra are integral features of a tango track. I am an unashamed music lover and love dancing to any music that has ‘soul’. I love the tempo and feel of slow Blues music which really suits the mood of a tango dance.

[A: "I love the taste of a good curry which really suits the flavour of an Italian meal."]
