In this section of Tango Terms we explore the Tanda (the Group) and Cortina (the Curtain).First the terms redefined:
Tanda group [tanh’-dah]
A set of dance music which can be either three, four or five songs, separated by a cortina.
Cortina curtain [cor-tee’-nah]
A musical interlude in between a tanda at a milonga.
