"This is an artistic piece of work made by MonteleoneTango, who also created the mythical mural of the Canning Salon in Buenos Aires. In this particular case, the picture was specially made for Yanina Freire, who wanted to have a personalized poster at her home.

As everyone can notest, she is the main character of many nights, surrounded by friends, dances and the magic and joy that are always present in the milonga´s atmosphere.

It is a pleasure, for me, having done it. And that's the reason why i'm sharing it with you. Also, because i want to tell you that you can have a personalized image if you want it. Just ask! "Remembranza" de Orquesta Osvaldo Pugliese, Jorge Maciel, Mario Melfi

About the video: it's made by Leo Aramburu.

Last Tango in Compton - The Making of VW Polo Advert (UK)

The company is going to launch a massive social media activity, which includes making of and behind the scenes footage, to support the launch of the expressive advert, in which Argentinean Tango world champion Gasper Godoy and his partner Manuella Rossi, the world number two, are performing a hot dance to Roc C’s “Don’t Stop.” The spot dubbed “Last Tango in Compton” was directed by Jonathan Glazer, whose credits include the Guinness Surfer, Sony Paint and Levi’s Odyssey campaigns.

Buscandote :: Short Film by Juan Francisco Otaño

Looks like I sent the lyrics from my phone or ipad back in February of 2016 and never got the blog post built...

"BUSCANDOTE" un cortometraje de Juan Francisco Otaño from Francisco otaño on Vimeo.

Dedicado a todos los que buscan con fervor algo en la vida. y cuando se encuentran con ello todo sucede mágicamente.

Written by Lalo Scalise, recorded in 1941 Osvaldo Fresedo/Ricardo Ruiz...

Lyrics translation by Derrick del Pilar

Searching for You
lyrics by Eduardo Scalise

Wandering…
with the fatigue of my endless ambling,
the bitter sadness of being alone,
enormously anxious to arrive.

Perhaps you know…
that I have gone through life searching for you,
that I shattered my dreams without meaning to,
that I left them at some crossroads.

I sped up my steps,
in hopes of seeing you,
I strung together long roads,
I covered leagues and leagues.

After I have had a chance to rest
in your arms,
if you prefer I will leave again
by the road I took yesterday…

Buscandote

Vagar...

Con el cansancio de mi eterno andar,

Tristeza amarga de la soledad

Ansias enormes de llegar.

 

Sabrás...

Que por la vida fui buscándote,

Que mis ensueños sin querer vencí

Que en algún cruce los dejé.

 

Mi andar apresuré

Con la esperanza de encontrarte a ti,

Largos caminos hilvané

Leguas y leguas recorrí por ti.

 

Después que entre tus brazos

Pueda descansar,

Si lo prefieres volveré a marchar

Por mi camino de ayer.

 

Letra y música : Eduardo Scalise  (Eduardo Scalise Regard)

 

Grabado por la orquesta de Osvaldo Fresedo con la voz de Ricardo Ruiz.

Nice Tango Videos :: Tango, A Message from the Concrete Jungle (2013)

So on Vimeo (which I like better than YouTube, because it's more film-maker-ey and artsy-fartsy) there are lots of people trying their hands at amateur shorts and such, as well as pros. People wanting to tell a tango story using video as their medium. Tons and tons. So many that it would be difficult/impossible to sift and parse through all of them. There almost needs to be an TangoIMDB of all of the best. Feature length films with tango elements in them (very few), documentaries (more), and shorts, probably in the thousands.

Anyway, just blathering.

Here's a nice one.

Roberto SZ Productions - Milonga Scene in Barcelona

Draft from 10/06/16

We call y'all "non-tango people" - everyone who has not (yet) experienced or really even seen social Argentine tango being danced. This is one of the most accurate portrayals of the scene/s at a milonga, or social tango dance, that I have ever seen. 

Although this shows only one song, we dance with the same partner for three or four songs, what we call a tanda. Everyone leaves the dance floor during the cortina, then via cabaceo/mirada, a completely non-verbal eye contact only process of invitation and acceptance, everyone mixes it up with new dance partners and the process begins anew.

Milongas occur every night of the week, in cities large and small, all over the world. Most go from 10 until 1 or 2 am, however, some last until the wee hours of the morning, or even day break.

It's a beautiful dance and art form, a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, and as I am oft to say, it's not "just" a dance.
