It should be something like Orquesta típica includes .... ? Tobias Conradi (Talk) 23:06, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You are right, and the article is wrong to imply that the Argentine usage is general. Different countries have their own usage. In Cuba (& I think, also in Mexico) a típico refers to a band with mostly wind instruments. See Early Cuban bands. Also the category 'Orchestra' is for classical music ensembles only; tango bands do not qualify. I will make some changes when I have a moment.
