I just read a story of Joaquina, the tale of passion and dance culminating in the 1898 murder of a tango dancer, on El Bardo's, and couldn't resist playing this tango. 
"La China" Joaquina Marán started her dancing career at Mamita's, a block North of Avenida Corrientes. She was reputed to have been the queen of a dancing-and-prostitution establishment on Avenida Alvear in Recoleta. The scandalous murder there is often mentioned when people talk about the murky roots of tango in the 1880s-1890s. Joaquina, and her longtime companion "El Maco", and the young lover shot by a rival, are all celebrated in tangos, some of which are rumored - but never proven - to have been composed in those decades. The story of "a very interesting brunette" and her suitors is fairly well documented in the contemporaneous sources, of course, but was it really a tango story - or just a city legend celebrated in the tangos of the century which followed?
