Arrangements and Music From Alejo Caramés

A tango musician by the name of Alejo Caramés has just launched his own website. There's plenty of his music to listen to although it's all streaming rather than downloadable.

Other musicians might find the examples of his arrangements more interesting.

Voxy Classes, French Tango and Mind Games

I've been waiting for some tango to surface on Vox, a blogging service I love, and, at last, it's happened. Smoke is blogging about tango classes in great detail:

I started going to an Argentine Tango group class at Starlite. At first, I was not sure how to lead the Cruzada. Cruzada means "crossed"; in this case, Cruzada refers to the position of the legs. I was not sure how my partner was supposed to physically feel when doing this move. The correct way of leading the Cruzada is when the follower's right foot touches the floor, the leader should push her with his right forearm toward the left. This "push" is actually a pulse instead of a continuous push. Also, my parm is on her back, so I can't use my hand to lead this move.

Vidéos Tango is a French site, that compiles You Tube videos of (you guessed it) tango…

Equally French is Line55, which has a good selection of tango photos under the title Station Tango.

And did you know that Tango is a mind game?
