Duds

Chatting with the DJ about the set, I said I liked the Demare tanda apart from El Pescante [lyrics].  

- What was wrong with it? 

- It makes me silently beg for the tanda to end. 

Perhaps he thought I was being melodramatic but he had asked and it is torture to be on the floor for that time. When your dance is wholly dependent on knowing and loving the music, when you are caught and stuck in a tanda with a dud track, dance becomes mere mechanics because the music just isn't there to support it. I feel like a fraud at these times.  I am a fraud!  Because I'm pretending to dance. My real dance isn't there because the good music that it comes from isn't there either.

Perhaps it's just me.
