A wealth of information and leads to follow up and research about tango through the ages -- from the times it started to be formed into something distinct later named tango to the end of the year 2000.
Major issues with this are the typos and horribly mangled English translation. However, the author being a poet, also takes license with run ons, flight of ideas, and inspired storytelling rather than the bare facts in plain language -- but this is the beauty of communicating the beauty, depth, & breadth of Tango!

Poorly translated history of the MUSIC and LYRICS of tango, with all of 6 pages dedicated to the dance aspect of tango.
