Joe, I am not quite sure about your statement. Would you mind qualify a little better what you meant in your statement: "tango was born in the brothels".
>From the little I know (and is literaly quite little)the construct of tango's singularity (born in a single place from a single group and a single economic status)is as embarrassing as associating bananas with South America. Unknowingly, your associations (tango-brothel)is a variation of the same cultural diconnect represented in some variations of Nuevo Tango.
