 Cuarteto, music and dancing from Argentina - in search of the Tunga-Tunga in Cordoba.
Author: Florine, Jane L Published: 2001 Cordoba, Argentina, is the home of a regional type of dance music called cuarteto. Considered to be 'low-class' music by many Argentines, cuarteto is a mass social phenomenon associated with the area; almost 20,000 people dance to it every weekend in Cordoba alone, and from 1500 to 2000 fans are often present at each dance. This the the story of the music and the dance. (The book is published in a plain hardback binding with no dustwrapper.) |
