Ah, but Trini, the difference is that La Cumparsita has been forced to comply to a rock rhythm, rather than having the free rhythmic structure of a tango. As soon as you bind it to a specific rhythm, you break the tango. But, Myk, would it be wrong, though, for a tango to have a specific rhythm? It could be very boring, but couldn't it still be defined as a tango? It strikes me that older pieces would have had a repetitive structure.
