It only barely survived rock'n'roll, though (the bal musette also survived two world wars but it's truly dead for all practical purposes). There's a revival, and that is partly because there is indeed some money to be made (at least some of the people who dance can actually make a living out of it), and because it's seen by the world as part of the heritage of Argentina. And much of the money is not Argentine. _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
