The name is a reference to the heeled boots that were worn as dress uniform by the military services in Argentina at the time; the heel was based on a cavalry heel, and so made a clear tap on the ground as the wearer walked – or danced.

- Malena; recorded live from a performance by Entre Tango Duo and Julian Schaeffer at Open Studio, Northcote, Melbourne, VIC on 25 July 2019; a tango with music composed by Lucio Demare in 1942 and lyrics by Homero Manzi. It was possibly the nightclub singer Malena de Toledo (stage name of Elena Tortolero) who captured Manzi’s imagination when he saw her performing in Brazil, and led him to write these lyrics. The story goes that Demare was so taken by the lyrics that he wrote the music for them in a quarter of an hour.
