In El Hogar 24 January : n. Anahi Viladrich. Once the last notes of the tango have faded away, the woman who just listened to it survives and takes upon her shoulders the curse of the milonguita, who, after having taken the false step, remains obscured by the spectral imminence of an inevitable death. Whereas men of all social classes had ambulatory liberty to go from the poor sections to the centre and vice versa, the tangos studied seem to suggest that the same conduct in women was at least inadvisable. If the milonguita dies, the woman who vicariously lives her tragedy through the consumption of the tango-song survives in more than one sense.
