Beautiful weather, great music by DJ Mala, but I arrived without a camera! Luckily there was Fabio Giovacchini who took some pictures and shared them with us. Next edition: 7 August!
The Tango DJ community from Gent (Ben, Jeema, Mjee, Dirk & El Flaco) have organised a series of milongas during the Gentse Feesten. Here are some of the pictures!
Guess who had the honour of appearing in the tango magazine La Cadena, the reference for tango in the Netherlands & Belgium? I was interviewed by Karin Venverloo about how I started taking pictures and dancing, what I like about it, …
It’s written in Dutch, so if you can read in Dutch, check out the PDF: Aan de rand van de tango. The La Cadena magazine is published monthly and writes about all aspects of tango: the teachers, the music, the experience. Jan Dirk and Ina have been using my pictures for over two years now, and every now and then I make the cover page. If you want to check out if you like it: they have a 3 editions for 11€ promotion for Belgium!
The pictures in the article were taken by my two photographer friends Bart & Christophe.
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.
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 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.
