BTF: Monday salon @ Les Bains::Connectives

Monday was the last salon of the festival, and it was held in the former swimming pool of Les Bains::Connectives. We started with a small crowd, more people came around 22h until the floor was filled. DJ Ben kept everyone dancing and while we had been afraid that it would be cold, it was quite […]

BTF: Sunday salon @ Vaudeville

“Surprise and Impro” was the name of the Sunday milonga of the festival. The biggest surprise, and unfortunately a very unpleasant one, is that we were not allowed to take any videos or pictures during the improvisations. One of the most exciting parts of the festival has been lost for eternity. Personally, I think this […]

( due to circumstances, I have no pictures of the performances on Saturday. If anyone has taken pictures and would like to share them: festival@milonga.be ) How much fun can you have with an empty champaign bottle and a full glass?

Milonga: Jardins du Dieweg, March 2008

It had been a long time, so we were all happy that Theresa organised another milonga at the Jardins du Dieweg. DJ Ben started when it was still light, and kept the dancefloor packed until the last Cumparsita. It was already warm now, so bring your hand-held fans for the next one in June!

Milonga: Cellule133a 2nd birthday

Time flies when you’re having milongas: Cellule133a has been hosting Brussels’ best (and only) Friday milonga for two years and this was a good reason for a celebration: champaign for all dancers and excellent live music by the Argentine Ranas duo. And of course, lots of dancing until quite late.

La Cantante de Tango: the film shoot

If you were wondering why some of the familiar faces did not show up at this weekend’s milongas, this is the reason: we were at Diego Martinez Vignatti‘s film shoot. “La Cantante de Tango”, Diego’s second feature film, required a milonga scene, and it was shot right at the Cultural Center of Schaarbeek, on Nosotros […]

Milonga: Tangueria, March 2008

With the new airco system in place, temperature at the Tangueria stayed within human limits, even with the sizable crowd that was there this Sunday March 9th. DJ Peter gave us a lot of good music, including some neotango and milonga (thank God).

Milonga: La Luna, March 2008

And they dance in Antwerp too, yes they do! I finally got out of my comfy Brussels chair and went to dance in La Luna. A really cosy venue, very nicely lit with candles and somewhat of a lightshow, with good music by DJ Peter and a friendly crowd. Amongst them some familiar faces and […]

Fado & Tango: the pictures

Fado & Tango – two port cultures that emerged in the 19th century in Lisbon and Buenos Aires out of marginal neighbourhoods. A mix of feelings: passion, pain, loneliness, desire, tragedy, love, joy and “saudade“. If anyone needed proof that fado and tango go well together, all they needed was the concert/performance “Fado & Tango […]

Milonga: El Dorado, Feb 2008

Due to my excessive dancing, I have only a limited number of photos of Saturday’s milonga in El Dorado. It was a really nice afternoon, and Sergio, don’t hold back on the milonga tanda’s!
