It is currently in Paris:

There is already Sexteto Mayor! A pleasure for the ears guaranteed.
Then we discover the singer Vanina Sol Tangini… that voice …. fabulous I must say!

Even if the show lacks a little emotion, history, and the Tango dance seems to be « hot », one can only applaud the performance of the dancers. They are beautiful, impressive.

While it is recognized figures used in Milonga (dance where we dance the Argentine Tango, Milonga and Waltz), we will not see such a show to decide to get to Tango. You should know that the dancers have a good basis for ballet, contemporary dance as surely and many hours of training specific to the scene and Tango. In addition, very few dancers called « scene » come dancing ballroom.

In dance, nobody likes to stand and lift the leg so high. The outfits are more simple and more opaque o) Not to mention it is not necessary or even advisable to go out dance choreography in mind. Tango dance in the Milonga is improvised, based on the encounter with the other, the atmosphere, the music that we find on the track and the often limited space we have available. This is one of many things you learn / learn in progress …

But we’re in a show, everything is usually exaggerated to be visible to all viewers!

Historically, it is thanks to Tango scene that Tango became known in Europe and the world, and we know such enthusiasm for this dance. It should also be noted that with this kind of performance, the musicality of the dancers is simply amazing and shows how important it is to rely on music for dance and dance another. The musical interpretation gives strength and meaning to dance, even improvised!

What listen when we get to Tango? Because in the beginning especially, it is only during the class you listen Tangto and nowhere else. It is necessary to make the ear by listening more often and hone your listening will change your dancing. You will then PERFORMER!

Here first, two of the most famous artists of the Argentine Tango. There are many more, I will not fail to write other articles:

Carlos Di Sarli (1903 – 1960)

« In the beginning, his music had a simple structure, but over time it matured into a more lyrical, richer, playful and more subtle style which remained popular with tango dancers as it continued to have a clear dancing beat. This clean compás made him a favorite of beginning social tango dancers, while more advanced ones could enjoy the complexity and variations of his music. Because of this, di Sarli’s orchestra was among the most popular ones during Carnival balls of his age and can still be heard at milongas in Buenos Aires and around the world today.
Di Sarli moved beyond the style of the guardia vieja of tango and Julio de Caro’s avant-garde, preferring to forge his own style without concession to the fashions of the day. While being influenced by Fresedo early on, he soon established his own way. A talented piano player, he directed his orchestra from behind his own instrument. His recordings do not feature significant instrumental solos; the bandoneóns at times carry the melody but essentially play a rhythmical, milonguero role. Only the violins stand out, playing a short solo or a counterpoint melody. He recorded many tracks more than once over the years, often with different singers. Di Sarli’s creativity was mostly limited to the left hand piano part, filling in, modulating and accenting his delicate and elegant dancing beat. His reputation for musical elegance got him his nickname El Señor del Tango (The gentleman of tango).

« El Rey del Compás » (King of the Beat). He used more modern arrangements and instrumentation and his popular group produced hundreds of recordings. His music is played often at milongas in Buenos Aires, and the instrumentals are the classic harder rhythmic tangos with a strong staccato dance rhythm. He also recorded many great milongas and fast valses. His recordings were accompanied by singers such as Alberto Echagüe, Armando Laborde, and Héctor Maure, among others. Upon his death in 1976, his body was interred in the La Chacarita Cemetery in Buenos Aires, Argentina. »

What is interesting then, gradually as your acquisitions and your music listening is to listen to the same song performed by different artists and thus be led to recognize the styles of each, such as pieces « Rodriguez Pena », « Rawson », « 9 de Julio », et cetera.
