Volteado [Sp., lit. "a male who turns around"]



Recently, 'e' has been used in Spanish more generally in place of an 'o' (masc.) or 'a' (fem.) as the final vowel in a word, for its ease in pronunciation and coherence with existing grammatical structures. I have applied this to form a masculine binary describing two men dancing the tango.


 


 



 


The step and rhythm of the tango can be delicious or savage, sensual or combative, delicate or strong, submissive or violent, serious or ironic, modern or traditional, stilted or languid, intimate or political. Find all these, here.
