The summer is an active tango time in Brussels, an example of that is the new milonga on Saturdays: Milonga du Soleil. Last week’s edition featured a demo from a couple teachers from Paris: Ariane and Ozgur.

The tango show “Tangauchos” by La Compagnia de Mariano Galeano is coming to Belgium in August with performances in Brussels and Leuven. We know Mariano from his appearances in various events in Belgium, like the 2009 Brussels Tango Festival. In Tangauchos he combines Argentinian folklore and the urban music from Rio de la Plata, in all its facets. He shows that, while they use common basic techniques, the styles developed on their own. In some pieces you even see four styles next to one another: salon, milonguero, fantasia, modern.
Tangauchos sera en tournée en Europe à l’été 2011. Allez les voir, cela vaut la peine. C’est vivant, avec des styles variés, un scénario plein de petites histoires, et très impressionnant sur le plan technique.

Thanks to Nosotros (thx Eugenia & Diego), we have 4 tickets to give for the Brussels performance, they will go to the first 4 commenters on this post (on www.milonga.be, dear Facebookers) with a link to a picture of Mariano Galeano from the Brussels Tango Festival photos. Each link has to be different: so not the same picture every time! The contest is open now!
One of the traditions of the Brussels Tango festival is the “Nuit des Maestros” concert on the Grand Place.

Thursday brought us a concert by the Argentinian/Italian group Tango Tinto, in the magnificent La Tentation. Tango music to dance to, and that’s what everybody did with pleasure. Thank to Monik & Dante for the organisation!
On Thursday, Patio de Tango welcomed Andrea Reyero and Sebastian Misse for the second time (they were here also in July 2010). Their demo was traditional with some spectacular notes, and was a good reminder of how it’s supposed to be.
DJ Mala was in good shape and made everyone dance until the very end.
