Yes, they are Ron, but you're just so used to it that you don't notice. Otherwise, why not do all tangos? Somehow back in the sands of time, someone decided to include vals and milongas along with tangos. We might never know who started it, but it has proven popular and I bet it was because they added a different rhythmic flavor to the night. Probably the same reason ballroom dances have their numerous dances and salsa dances include merengue every once in a while.

Vals and milonga are not there to provide 'color'. they are part of the aural environment of a milonga. _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list Tango-L@mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
