Photos: Milonga @ Kiosque #1

We were praying to the weather gods for the first edition of the Milonga @ Kiosque and apparently we were listened to. We got a splendid sunny day, lots of dancers and a nice concert on top. (photo: Peter C) Hernan Genovese was in Brussels for some concerts and came to sing in the Kiosque. […]

Photos: Tangueria, May 2009

It was a warm milonga, partly because it was almost 30° and most of us were thinking ‘why aren’t we at a BBQ?‘. Partly also because it was the birthday of Claudine and as these things go, several men battled over her during a birthday dance.

Milonga + portraits @ La Tangueria

BTF: taking pictures

Taking pictures at the festival was very rewarding: the venues are special, the people are beautiful, the lighting is challenging and you get lots of compliments. This year, it was even more fun for me, because I had invited a different friend photographer each evening. None of them are tango dancers or had a lot […]

BTF-5: Closing night @ Bains::Connective

(Check out all photos of the Brussels Tango Festival 2009) The last chance to dance at the festival, and with the visiting maestros, was at the swimming-pool-converted-to-milonga Les Bains. Less crowded than the other days, the dance-floor allowed a pleasant dancing experience and made people forget about their sore feet and lack of sleep. A nice […]

BTF-3: Exhibition @ Concert Noble

(Check out all photos of the Brussels Tango Festival 2009) This year the Concert Noble was even bigger than last year: an extra room for dancing and the live concert by Hyperion. The Concert Noble is definitely not the easiest place to take pictures, but it is by far the most exclusive chique venue of this […]
