Abrazo de Tango :: Selling Diamonds with Tango

More co-opting of "El Tango" for commercial/advertising purposes. The Belgium Diamond House offers the D'Agostino Duet, the Donato Solitaire, the Fresedo Duet. "Tango is more than a dance...it's a love story...that begins with an embrace..."

I have to laugh. But I guess we should be happy that people/companies are doing this. I suppose. Perhaps it helps spread more tango around the world.

This is from seven years ago. I found it on Vimeo.

TANGO is more than a dance, it's a love story that begins with an EMBRACE.



Belgium Diamond House has always sought inspiration from artistic influences in human history, and our designers have been captivated y the art of Argentine Tango. Even if you don't dance, once you wear one of our meticulously crafted "Abrazo de Tango" diamond accessories, you'll be immersed in a world of timeless grace and passion.

Hozelock Tango :: Tango Animation

Using tango the word and the dance in advertising, in theory to sell Hozelock's hose fittings/paraphernalia...?

I'll stretch and call it cultural appropriation.

Lots of this out there in the world...

They have another one called Hozelock Valse...

Tango but not tango :: “Tango” by Zbigniew Rybczyński, 1980

Another animation, a great one, but only tango in the title "Tango". A must see, but again, no tango.

Actually I guess it's not really even an animation. Oh well. Let's throw it up on the wall.
