(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 […]

Read MoreSergio had a special guest for his Maison Du Peuple milonga: Alfredo Marcucci with his tango orchestra. And I also discovered plenty of tattoos on pretty ladies, two of which are shown in this article.
Read MoreLast Sunday Marisa & Oliver dedicated their Tangueria milonga to women in honour of the International Women’s Day. Women got drinks, more attention and for an hour even the ‘obligation’ to invite men instead of the other way round. We clearly noticed that when women invite, they are a lot more couples on the floor. […]
Read MoreIt was really nice and full (around 200 dancers). Despite the fact that we started quite early (at 7PM), at midnight there were still people arriving! So we finished at 2AM: a seven-hour salon is really not bad. (from Diego) I couldn’t make it, but Diego was kind enough to send me a picture and […]

Read MoreEugenia & Diego from Nosotros held their 6th anniversary milonga last Saturday, and, just like last year, they sure knew how to welcome their guests. There was live music by Cimadevilla (bandoneón) et Di Paolo (guitar), with even Eugenia singing at some point. At midnight there was champaign and cake for everyone. And in the […]
Read MoreSergio has gotten into the habit of using Earth, Wind & Fire‘s Greatest hits for cortinas and I think that’s just great. It also helps keeping the energy and the temperature high, as we noticed again at last weekend’s Pianofabiek milonga. I arrived a bit late and had to rush to take enough pictures in between […]
Read MoreThe first milonga of the year in El Dorado and while quite a lot of people are trying to quit smoking in the New Year, others on the other hand took up smoking next to the dance floor. We had grown used to the unwritten code that, except for La Cellule, all tango venues around […]
