answer: Tangos de la Repompa!
Enriqueta Reyes Porras “La Repompa de Málaga,” Raquel Heredia’s aunt, left behind a major artistic legacy despite her early death at the young age of 21. She popularized an entire style of tangos, which were then named after her: Tangos de la Repompa. You can listen to Enriqueta herself singing the style of her namesake above.
