Bandera de Argentina

/cuar-te-LI-to/

A slow, romantic cumbia rhythm danced close together. In Argentina the cuartelito is the moment of the dance that puts a couple's intentions to the test — the song that separates the dancers from the interested parties.

Example

"They played a slow song and the dance floor filled with couples."

"Will you dance this slow one with me?"
