For the third week of July 2019 - we picked a lovely video uploaded by a video producer from French Quebec - Canada. They call themselves "Tangogaga" and its unclear who they are. One would have to "look under the tail" or something. However the video is charming - uploaded on July 15 - 2014 - it garnered about 100 thousand clicks which is a lot - for a dance video. The viewers comments are all positive with the producer of this video - barely commenting.
The title of this piece is "La Milonga de Buenos Aires" - a beautiful tune - composed by a legendary Tango composer/big womanizer - Francisco Canaro who came up with tons of glorious Milongas, Tangos and Waltzes as well - all those being in the Tango family. The Milonga is an extremely fast dance - quickly "exposing" the dancers' skills. Actually the Milonga sounds like a fast Tango - "on speed" or something like that. It's more difficult to dance well than the Tango since the moves have to be extra speedily executed.
The young dancers in this video - Christian Marquez and Virginia Gomez demonstrate their mastery as they perform in their light, relaxed manner with their moves coordinated which look effortless but to the experts - they immediately show the skills which come after many years of practice in the dance studio.
Notice her hands - guys - how the fingers are together instead of spreading them apart - so they would look like vultures claws - catching his supper. I know that we point this out a lot but there is nothing uglier than an accomplished female Tango dancer - spreading her fingers as she "claws" into her partner's back. That just makes one's skin crawl - and we don't exaggerate or anything like that.
In any event - all of us will have a super good third week of July 2019 which is hot in our hilly "turf". Thank God the heat waves are short - so far this summer 2019 - not like during some summers - when the damn heatwaves never end. Thanks for clicking our YouTube channel tango3721 and we shall meet here - a week from today - same channel - same place - same time!
