Amenabar made a point about this in his classes too. I don't recall
the exact reference, but it was something like instrumentals are more
complex because they have five parts whereas vocal has only two.
Don't quote me, but someone may remember the exact context.

Hi Ilene :))
Tine here, DJ in NYC.
I looked at what I played the first half of 2010 and came up with 62% vocal
and 38% instrumental. Each song played was counted, and it's WITHOUT vals
and milonga.
Other DJ's stats I heard were around the mid-60s % as well.
I very rarely get complaints a

I like vocal and non-vocal tracks more or less the same.
There are many good examples of each kind.
When I started dancing,
John Ward compares Argentine customs to those in Europe and says: "Here it
would be considered rude to ignore your partner's friends, or your friend's
partner."
There are at least two very important reasons for this to be different in
Argentine tango:

one would dance when Gardel sings or is played, out of respect to him.)
I believe Gardel is not danced because the tempos wax and wane and it truly is
music for listening, not out of respect for him. There are many tangos that are
not danced for the same

Many many leaders in NY and elsewhereprefer to dance to instrumental
music and openly express a dislike for vocals. I have heard this many
times thru the years of DJing these are also very good, eperienced
leaders, not just beginners. They either say the melody throws them
off, or that th

Interesting question so I checked my last 5 DJ playlists. It came out
at 65% vocals and I was actually surprised. I knew it was over 50%

Music with lyrics is nice when you want to dance to the singer and dance
off beat and with delays. (But when I was a beginner I preferred to
dance WITHOUT lyrics so I could clearly hear the beat and dance
precisely on every beat.)
So I think a mix is good to satisfy all dancers. I think 50/50 i
I, too, have gravitated toward music with lyrics over the years. My interest
with lyrics started with the movie Tango by Carlos Sauros, specifically the
scene of two singers performing Flores de alma at a dance rehearsal. I just
really enjoyed the romantic quality the pair brought to the piece
Hi Vince and List:
I also am curious to see if more people prefer instrumentals, or
whether it is the other way around.
There are some compelling instrumentals out there, no doubt. But my own
preference over the years has gravitated to songs with lyrics.
I was just thinking about this the oth

When you attend a milonga (or a practica for that matter) what proportion of
the music do you want to hear with lyrics?

musical preference towards tango music that has a strong beat and without
lyrics. It is my belief tha
