Is it just me, or is the number of tango videos posted to YouTube growing exponentially?
Frightening…
This I can say I unreservedly like. The Medialuna Tango Project has put one of their pieces of music - Tango Tres - to a video of pure, simple social tango. It makes a nice change to see this sort of stuff strongly decoupled from show tango.
I will confess to finding it a little dull initially (oh, me of little attention span), but once I sunk into the rhythm of the music and the video, it was just great.
You can snag Tango Tres on iTunes
Intriguing wee video. It claims to be an adaptation of the tango Amablemente, but does it really make it? Perhaps. The mood is certainly sinister and charged - but tango? Hmmm.

A quiet but lovely little dance captured at a club night. It's lovely to watch, but feels almost voyeuristic…
