BTF-1: Maison des cultures et … @ Molenbeek

(Check out all photos of the Brussels Tango Festival 2009)

The opening milonga for the festival was held in the “Maison des cultures et de la cohésion sociale“, a big name for a new venue in the heart of Sint-Jans-Molenbeek. As the mayor Moureau explained, it was kind of the unofficial opening of the renovated school and he was proud to see it inaugurated by an international crowd with a passion for an Argentinian dance.

There was a live concert on guitar, harmonica and bass, which inevitably reminded us of Hugo Diaz, but that’s not a bad reference.

For the rest, well, we did what we do best: enjoy the music, preferably in a comfortable abrazo.

Not only dancing
