CECCONI, Sofía. El tango en la marea verde. Una mirada de género sobre las figuras de lo femenino en el tango actual. Cuad. Cent. Estud. Diseñ. Comun., Ensayos [online]. 2023, n.117, pp.160-185.  Epub Mar 01, 2023. ISSN 1853-3523.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18682/cdc.vi117.4281.

the tango lyrics are a privileged territory for the manifestation of several gender figures. Some of them have become classic: the milonguita, that woman with aspirations of social ascent that leaves the neighborhood in search of a better life; and the mother, selfless woman, perfect in the eyes of the son. Since the consolidation of those figures in the tango lyrics, many years have passed and the traditional conception of gender differences has been transformed. This article analyzes the way in which those traditional female figures are recovered, distorted and been broken in the new tango lyrics written by women, lyrics that introduce new voices and colors into the tango. The "green" tango is a contemporary tango in which the dialogue with feminism is possible.
