Overview

A tango.info performance name is a name provided by tango.info instead of a track name. The latter is also often called track title.

The performance can differ from the tango.info work name.

The performance name is:

  • the name found on the first publication, if known to tango.info.
  • else - the name on the publication known to tango.info believed to be the oldest

If the performance name is unknown a set of names can be provided if alternative names are listed for the related tango.info work. The names are concatenated with " | ". The first name is the primary work name.
