Product Description
About the title:
- First of all, "entradora" is an adjective that can be applied
to a femenine noun. (In Spanish you have different declinations for masculine
and femenine adjectives). The masculine version is "entrador".
- Second, "entradora" can be understood in this context as a substantivized adjective, i.e. a word that
is actually an adjective, but is used as if it were a noun, like if I say
"Now I will play 'Entradora'". (for a more scientific explanation
check yor favorite English grammar book).
- Third, "entradora" is a wink to Argentine composer Julián
Plaza, who used adjectives as one-word title of several of his milongas and
tangos, for instance Nocturna, Danzarín, Melancólico, Melancólica, Sensiblero,
Nostálgico, Disonante, Dominguera, Expresivo, Futura, Instrumental, Juguetón,
Paseandera, Payadora, Solemne, Temperamental - and possibly others that I am
not aware of.
- And fourth, the meaning of the word "entradora" in the
coloquial Spanish of Argentina is this one: if applied to a person, is someone
that easily makes friends, that wins the trust of the people very easily, who
is very charming. I applied to an object (or to a melody) it means that it is
easy to grasp, that you remember it immediately (as an earworm), that is
accessible and uncomplicated.
- Oh, there is a fifth point: are you native (or good) English speaker?
