Gustavo y Giselle Anne


Yep. There are dancers and teachers and then there are Gustavo Naveira and Giselle Anne. I can not find words to describe the feeling I get when I see them dance. I sense in their dance a mix of love, fun, beauty, respect, honor and all that added to an incredible technique and innovation they both bring to it. Tango world is better with them in it.


Watch them dance Donato: El AdiĆ³s.

Fuga y Misterio


Astor Piazzolla. When his name is mentioned in the tango universe, varied responses arise. In my world, he was a genius who brought tango music into the world of the classics. I never tire of listening to the many interpretations of his creations.

Perhaps the most intriguing one is "Fuga y Misterio." Not being versed in the ins and outs of classical music I can not discuss its musical value, but as a feeling person who is moved by tango music, I testify to its never dying inspirational power. I can not sit still when it is played.

Here it is interpreted by "Beltango Symphonico" -- a marriage of Beltango quintet from Belgrade, Serbia and Vojvodina Symphony Orchestra out of Novi Sad, Serbia. It is a beauty.
