Some interviews
Since I have been neglecting my blog for the past couple of months, thought I’d bump up the post count before the end of 2011!
Here is Part 1 (of 5) of a series of interviews (English subtitles) with tango teachers in Rosario, Argentina (map below).
Thanks to Janis for alerting me to this series.

Viejos milongueros
Just discovered this nice series of videos of various milongas in Buenos Aires in the 90′s. Since this was before the influx of tango tourists, I presume that collectively they are quite representative of the milongas in Buenos Aires back then. “No gimmicks” tango, just social gathering and self-expression.

Emerald
Don’t feel particularly inspired to write anything of late, although I must confess there is still a healthy backlog sitting in the Drafts folder.
Anyway here is a gem from the perennial Osvaldo and Coca, dancing on the occasion of their Emerald wedding anniversary – I had to look this up but it means 55 years together! Good for them!!

Taking things too seriously
Tangocynic has been producing some hilarious stuff so far but I think this tops everything that came earlier because, while stereotypical this may be, I am quite certain there are people who behave as portrayed in the tango scenes around the world…
