The first edition of Tango For Life was a big success. In an authentic chappel dozens of tango dancers were being rented for a tanda at a time to raise money for StuBru’s Music for Life.

Tonight at 21h: the last Bruxelles Aires Tango Orchestra concert of the year! In café Kafka, four musicians will bring you a mix of tango, theatre and a bit of opera. No one has ever asked you for a tip the way Lola can!
And while you’re at it, maybe give them some views / comments / favs on Flickr? Maybe they make it to the Most popular pics of 2011!
This weekend Marisa & Oliver celebrate their 15th anniversary of tango together. The Tangueria salon on Sunday welcomes lots of invited maestros and promises to be a party filled with nice demos and sweet memories!

The Flemish radio station Studio Brussel (STUBRU) organizes for the sixth and last time “Music for Life“, a charity event under which flag anyone can organize a fundraiser, the proceeds of which go to this year’s cause: fighting child diarrhea, the most important cause of child mortality worldwide.
So this year there will also be a Tango For Life fundraiser: on Friday 23 Dec, you can go to the Altena chapel in Kontich, and pay to dance a tanda with one of 50 tango teachers from all over Belgium. There will be a cava lounge and music by DJs Ben, Stephan and MJee. Afterwards you can keep dancing at the after-party in La Luna, Antwerp.
So put it in your agenda! Friday 23 Dec, come spend your money for a good cause!
Just like last year, I would like you to help me choosing the best milonga.be picture of the past year. For that, you should go through the list of all milonga.be favourites and ‘favorite‘ and ‘comment‘ (see further) on pictures that you like! I will give you the top 20 and the most popular photo in the beginning of January!
Some more details on how to improve the scores of the pictures you like:
If you DO NOT have a Flickr account
- go to the overview page and click on each photo you like to see them in full size. Every click counts as 1 view!
- post the link of a picture you like a lot (like: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pforret/6447405305) on your Facebook profile or Twitter feed. Your friends might click on it and every click counts!
- you can see the counted views on the right of each picture
- Pro tip: if you really want to influence scores, get a (free) Flickr account. You just need a (free) Yahoo account, and it’s easy if you already have a (free) FB or (free) Google account. Did I mention it was free?
If you DO have a Flickr account (now we’re talking)
- for every photo of the overview page that you really like, press the Favorite button on top. Favorites count more than just 1 click!
- If you want to explain why you like the picture, leave a comment. Comments are worth even more than Favorites!
- I’m not telling you how much more favorites and comments count in the scores, but: it’s significant!
Extra tips
- Check if the picture is from 2011! I won’t take older photos into account!
- if there are pictures of mine that you really like, but that for some reason, I did not put in the Milonga.be Favs group, let me know, I can add them. The top 20 will ONLY contain pictures from that group!
- All the numbers I will use to calculate scores are only on Flickr: views/favorites/comments, everyone can see them. Don’t send me emails with URLs, don’t try to bribe me. If you want a certain picture to score higher, use the tools above to improve the score!
To start with: here are 50 popular photos from 2011:
