There are two rhythms in milonga: 1) double rhythm -- two steps in two beats of music; and 2) triple rhythm (called traspie) -- three steps in two beats of music (like a triple step in swing). There is no syncopated rhythm in milonga. The wrong terminology is used because teachers aren't musicians. _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
