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 JuliĆ”n Plaza, who used adjectives as one-word title of several of his milongas and tangos, for instance Nocturna, DanzarĆn, MelancĆ³lico, MelancĆ³lica, Sensiblero, NostĆ”lgico, Disonante, Dominguera, Expresivo, Futura, Instrumental, JuguetĆ³n, 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? After all this explanation do you come to an understandable translation of this word, Entradora? If yes, let me know!
