Milonga en plein ciel @ Hilton

Last weekend took us to a place where no on had been before to tango: the top floor of the Brussels Hilton hotel. Monik and Dante had organised an evening full of surprises, and they sure delivered. There were tango performances by them and by Cythia and Ernesto, there was some Argentinian folk music and then there was the biggest surprise, but more about that later. I was there to take pictures, and it was the last time with my ‘old’ camera, because by the next time my new Canon 500D will have arrived!

And the cherry on the cake was definitely the performances of two gauchos with their bolas. Several of the  spectators had fear in their eyes when they saw the balls whooshing by at what seemed to be at times only a few inches away from their heads.
