Milonga Criolla at Moskow Tango Festival

At the recent Moscow Tango Festival, there were two demos on “Milonga Criolla”, the familiar milonga by Francisco Canaro (with Roberto Maida).

Chicho Frumboli y Juana Sepulveda

Sebastian Arce & Mariana Montes
So which one do you like most?

Another interpretation:

Diego Riemer -El Pajaro- and Sigrid Van Tilbeurgh

  • Sebastian & Mariana win this one clearly. Their Musicality is superb, the dancing detailed, cool and relaxed.

    Chicho really needs a woman who can challenge him. He seems to have too much energy, losing the woman.

    You can really see the difference between the two couples: one is two equal partners, the other is a giant dancing solo.

  • Three totally different styles. So it is a bit difficult to compare…
    I don’t wanna choose between Sebastian and Chicho, but in this is Sebastian a litle bit better according to me.
    And why? He kept my attention till the end! And the other two not…
    And he is very relaxed. With a lot of stops in a milonga! Very interesting I find!
    But this three versions are all three very good! So it is interesting to see who prefers what and for wich reason!?

  • For me, the third clip with El Pajaro and Sigrid has the most tango spirit, they dance well connected to the beat and to each other.

  • And the winner is Nr 3 “Diego Riemer -El Pajaro- and Sigrid Van Tilbeurgh”. Clearly, totaly on the music with little nice special moves. Super connected and that for an occacional dancecouple. Very nice.
