Tango Toppers: Enrique Rodriguez

Tango Topper of today: Enrique Rodriguez, responsible for the famous “Llorar, llorar por una mujer es quererla y no tenerla.”

Enrique Rodríguez was a complete functional musician, besides playing bandoneon, he equally played piano and violin or brandished the baton. He was talented and was fast to easily write simple arrangements and versions of consecrated classical and popular melodies of all countries, without depriving them of their essence of international beat. So the success of his orchestra was strengthened not only in our milieu, but also in the whole continent for the delight of listeners and dancers.

This weekend, Theresa had prepared us another of those rare pearls of tango bliss: the Dieweg milongas. Yes, the floor was slippery and yes, there were more dancers than ever, but that didn’t stop anyone from having a wonderful time. In between dancing, I took some pictures of nice abrazos, concentrated dancing, deeply connected couples and those nice square patterns on the stone floor.
