Correction--I meant Tango orchestras that play FOR DANCERS AT MILONGAS in Buenos Aires (in any given week, there will have been many more tango orchestras/trios/groups that will have performed for spectators/listeners than for dancers, and of course then there is no concept of tandas, at least as we Tango dancers think of it). The corrected final paragraph of my last post should have been: "If you're referring to Tango orchestras that play for dancers at milongas in Buenos Aires, mostly they do not play in tandas at all, except to some extent for the few orchestras that have one or more social Tango dancers among the musicians (e.g., Sexteto Milonguero and Orquesta Mariano Bujacich, among others). Generally then, an announcement of the previous or following tanda takes the place of a cortina."
