‘Traspié’ (pron: ‘Tras-PEE-Ay’) means a stumble step. It’s the basis of Milonga Traspié vocabulary and is used inside the Habanera Rhythm, and in specific used to accentuate the El Golpe note of the Habanera. If you’re unclear on what note that is. When you’re listening to the Milonga Rhythm, it’s the dipthong note that precedes the weaker 2 of the 4 notes of the Habanera Rhythm itself. There is a common misundertanding that adding an Incremental Step is sometimes mistakenly called a ‘traspié’; it’s not.
