A NEW CONCEPT IN PHOTO NARRATIVES
“Hold onto your socks, Pat!” Stephen said to me when we first conceived of this project. I quickly corrected him, “No, hold on to your fishnets!” – and the tag line was born for PROYECTO TANGO, a new visual adventure that presents the concept of Argentine Tango in an innovative way. Photo art, centered on the theme of Argentine Tango, will never be the same...

Let me introduce myself. My name is Malena. Some have said that I’m the soul of the tango. You may know about me through the tango written in my honor in 1941 by Lucio Demare, with
Alberto Podestá. In 1939, a fifteen-year-old from the Argentine province of San Juan had come to the big city of Buenos Aires caressing a dream: he wanted to be a tango singer. The young teenager’s destiny

Some of Argentina’s best and unknown wines are produced in Salta and specifically, Cafayate. With an average vineyard altitude of almost 5,500 feet above sea level and as many cactus as grapevines, the terrain in Cafayate is like no other wine producing region in the world. The high altitude, desert climate, and drastic temperature contrast between daytime highs and nighttime lows, resulting in concentrated, idiosyncratic wines that reflect the unique geology of
This is a jewel of a city in eastern Argentina nestled on the Rio de la Plata, a river so large that locals here and in Uruguay refer to it as the sea. Buenos Aires exudes considerable charm despite tight

As a musicologist and a dancer, I am intrigued by conversations that I hear regarding the rhythms of Argentine Tango. I’ve found that this can be a great mystery for teachers and students alike. This article strives to demystify some of the rhythms of tango, and also inspire an even greater appreciation of this art form's unique music.
First of all, I am convinced that we live in a world that encourages us to not listen to music! We tend to think of music as “wallpaper,” something that occupies time. Almost none of our day passes without being bombarded with sounds that we did not invite. For example, we hear recorded music while we purchase our groceries, while we are shopping at a mall, and even while we are on hold, waiting for a human voice

Nat Sheppard reported being “moved, touched and inspired” by generous support shown at a recent Chicago stroke benefit milonga held in his honor. The social dance event was organized to raise funds toward alternative recovery therapies for the stricken tanguero and ballroom dancer.
Friends and supporters in and beyond local tango community rallied around Nat at Fred & Yermen Romero’s special October milonga held at Chicago’s Latvian Center to assist him in receiving promising therapies not covered by health insurance. The veteran dance host suffered a debilitating stroke while on a 2008-09 New Year’s Eve dance cruise that was at sea somewhere in the Carribean.

I could say that my tango journey unofficially began on a summer night in Valencia, Spain:
