Tango.info music performance

Definition of "performance" in tango.info, related to http://www.tango.info/performances

Each performance entry corresponds to a group of tracks that have the same

• title,
• orchestra,
• vocalist(s) and
• performance date (or no performance date).

orchestra and vocalist are sometimes combined into artist or performer, one could then speak of the title-performer-date triplet.

NOTE: By this definition, a performance entry can include,multiple performances, e.g. in one case of two Canaro performances recorded with same orch/vocalist on same day (detail needed). Suggested solution: disambiguate such performances by including an arbitrary sequence number. Chrisjjj 21:17, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
