Spanish adjectives have gendered forms: entradora is the feminine; the masculine would be entrador.- Second, "entradora" functions 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 your favorite English grammar book under 'nominalization').- Third, "entradora" is a wink to Argentine composer Julián Plaza, who often used adjectives as one-word titles for several of his milongas and tangos, for instance Nocturna, Danzarín, Melancólico, Melancólica, Sensiblero, Nostálgico, Disonante, Dominguera, Expresivo, Futura, Instrumental, Juguetón, 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: when applied to a person, it describes someone who easily makes friends, who quickly gains people's trust, someone very charming. If applied to an object (or to a melody) it means that it is catchy, instantly memorable (as an earworm), easy to grasp—accessible and uncomplicated.- Oh, there is a fifth point: are you a native (or fluent) English speaker?
