Here are some pictures from the Tango Antwerp Festival this weekend. It all started with a solo performance by Gisele Avanzi, thereby dedicating this festival to the late Osvaldo Zotto.

It’s been a while since there was a real big tango festival in Antwerp, but next month there will be a special one: “Tribute to Osvaldo Zotto – Tango Antwerp Festival 2010“.
As you can see from the name, the festival has been dedicated to the recently deceased and much loved Osvaldo Zotto, who was supposed to perform at the festival. Instead, the festival opens with a solo from Gisele Avanzi, his last dance partner, and will also feature maestros like Roberto Herrera, Alejandra Mantiñan, Aoniken Quiroga, Frank Obregón, Jenny Gil, Anibal Lautaro, Valeria Maside, Mariano & Cosima Dias Campos, Lautaro Cancela and Lucila Segura. Music from the well-known orchestras Ensemble Hyperion, Tango 02, Mabel Gonzalez & Trio Herman Ruis and the DJs Felix Picerna, Francesco El Actor (Ar), Nettie & El Karangatang (NL).
Put it in your agendas: Friday May 21st until Monday May 24th, it’s festival time in Antwerp!

This weekend I was invited by Tristan from Tango De Carmen to visit an special milonga: in the Roma, a beautiful renovated old cinema from 1928, with the excellent quartet Tanguarda from Rotterdam and with live performances of Geraldine Rojas and Ezequiel Paludi, tango superstars.
As I expected, seeing Geraldine dance in real life is quite a treat. Not only are her and her husband amazing performers, she also is gorgeous in every single picture I took of her – and I took quite a lot of them.
They also brought some friends who did their own routine, but that was not of the same level.

Geraldine Rojas and Ezequiel Paludi are in Belgium this weekend and they’re doing a little tour: Friday and Saturday they’re in Antwerp with Tango De Carmen, giving several workshops and performing at the Friday ‘Grand Milonga’ (Casa 32) and the Saturday salon in the Roma. Sunday takes them to Liège, where they’re teaching and performing in collaboration with La Mi’Lune. Check the milonga.be agenda for details!
If you want to see them dance in real life, this is your chance. I will be going to – and taking pictures at – the Roma salon.
