Légèreté et élégance
This is the tango that I long for and aspire to. These are the feelings that truly resonates with me. There is utmost tenderness in the embrace, there is grace and balanced energy in their walk. The musicality and emotions expressed by the dancers is incredibly touching. I love this video!
The music of Francisco Canaro has this crackling flavour of decades gone, quand les hommes portaient le chapeau. The arrangement of this song is superb: the violins delicately blowing melancholia to the wind, the piano driving the paseo. I always picture the streets of Paris when the deep sound of the wind comes into the melody.
My favourite part starts at 1.33 on the clock: for a moment the dance becomes a hug, a tender and chaste hug, which flows and open into dance again. I would like to think that a true and connected embrace could and should always move seamlessly from hug to dance and back again. What do you think?
Merci Ezequiel y Eugenia, merci mille fois.
Un abrazo a todos.
