It was quite an adventure full of adrenaline and top secret to go down to the suburbs to the Tango Houses. The lyrics relate the most heartbreaking and beautiful love stories of forbidden love, fights between men for a lady, victories, defeats, joys. The melodies are characterized for using wind instruments like flute and clarinet, violin, piano, orchestra and most important, the bandoneon.
