Tango and football

You might have noticed, there is some football competition for the moment, and one of the favorites is Argentina (well, certainly if you ask the argentinians). Since Argentina is also known for something else, they made a promo video combining both. For those who have attended the Brussels festival the last years, the dancer is indeed Dana Frigoli.

Milonga @ Kiosque 2010 coming up!

It’s that time of the year again! Dirk and me continue Olivier’s initiative of organizing open-air milongas in the kiosque of the Parc de Bruxelles / Warandepark. This year, they start on July 10th, and from then on every 2 weeks until the last one, on September 4th. We start at 17h and continue dancing until 23h. Drinks are available on site. DJs wil be Dirk and Nina (and maybe some guest appearance).

Hope to see you all at the kiosque this summer!

La Cantante launch party

La Cantante de Tango is now on the screens (in Brussels: Vendome, Antwerp: Cartoon’s, Gent: Sphinx, Liege: Sauveniere, Namur: Cameo2). I was at the avant-premiere and the milonga afterwards at the Bouche-à-Oreille.

Three good reasons to see the movie:

  • the music: all the songs Helena (Eugenia) sings in the movie are recorded live, no tricks, no dubbing and it makes the music so real you can almost touch it.
  • the images: Diego tells the story with beautiful images: as if every scene was painted by hand so it would be perfect. The streets of Buenos Aires, the beach at Boulogne, the theatres …
  • the dancers: the scenes recorded at Nosotros are filled with faces you know. We know you’re curious, so go check them out.
