Economics, Argentina and Tango

Tango is too expensive for the locals. It used to be we could go to dance every night and maybe in the afternoon. Now, no matter how much you love tango, you can only go maybe twice a week. The entrance to a milonga is 20 pesos, something to drink another 10. If you have to take a taxi home, at the least it is 20 pesos. A 50 peso night. For an American this is $12, for a European, 10 euros. For us, it is still 50 pesos

Tango Thoughts: Social Responsibility & Elections

So the politics comes when people appropriate Tango for their cause, whatever it is. Be it getting you to come to their classes, them thinking that the milonga is a practica, their charity in the depths of a yak farm in Mongolia. I know Tango is hard, but in comparison to this is it so hard to just embrace someone and dance?

A timely meditation on politics and tango, as Britain finds itself in electoral limbo the day after a general election.

Tango Cabaret in Montreal

"Tango is a feeling," Luedeke told the crowd. "It's a way of living. The heart of tango is the sound of the bandoneon, a type of accordion invented in Germany. The soul of tango is in nostalgia, a longing for the past."

A brief write-up of the tango scene in Montreal, based around a cabaret.
