Most songs have pretty rubbish lyrics.
Or are some just a lousy translation? |

You mean tango songs, or argentinian songs, or songs in general?
Or are some just a lousy translation? When I translate songs I don't do a literal translation and try and fit with the sense. Translation in general in fact. I translated "Si nos dejan" a while back. Still in draft. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PN7_2r4HKQA I'll have to fine tune it and post it for comments to see if it fits the music. Maybe good for a Rumba. |

I think Goton Project who in some respects have revitalised the musical genre in the modern day are French and Spanish ???? Even non AT dancers will be familiar with their music, as it is used for other things including advertising everything from diamonds to dishwasher tablets. Examples? I think it was called summat like 'Una Musica Brutale' that Pasha and Chelsee danced their AT to. I liked it,quite a lot. |

I liked it,quite a lot. ![]() https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-DkkpGk5h0 It is really popular with advertisers. I am guessing something to do with the cicadas at the beginning of the piece. Not to be muddled with sacadas, which is the AT step in which one partner replaces the footprint of the other really fast, so you get that legs kicking each other out of the way optical illusion. My AT teacher pronounces Sacadas as Cicadas. So with his Spanish accent he is actually saying "Today class we will be working on our crickets" I can see the Spanish native speakers in the class put their chins to their chests to mask their grins. ![]() https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9lfdx-h6u0 Here is another Gotan track. My favourite (well today it is! )And the one you mentioned https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=as59Id4eHhc |

I don't listen to 'pop' music, so I expect what I prefer to listen to has much better lyrics.

Sadly my bubble burst shortly after I posted that. Frankie and Kevin's salsa track was cited and then my expectations dropped completely off a cliff when I saw their training footage. It looks as if we are to get another salsa free salsa. Why don't they just drop this dance if they can't be bothered to even try to do it with a modicum of authenticity.

OK here is
Miguel Angel Zotto & Daiana Guspero La Cumparsita (much too flashy for my liking) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tKeMopEN60 Chicho - La Cumparsita (not keen on it. OTT as well as he often is) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPbEaZYUVtA |

How do they manage on that surface. It looks like a faux cobbled slab payment and she appears to be wearing louboutins?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZ7pcCCf000 And what is odd about this clip? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JevZgJ5Q2P8 ![]()

The second video has London phone boxes. How odd. ![]() Didn't C&A close down? Is there still one in London?. I used to love C&A. Miss it lots. |

Enjoy the show tonight peeps. I won't see it until later. I am out hosting a Mixed Latin Christmas party. Its aimed at a mixed audience and the idea is to blend normal UK/US party tracks with Latin. Its very light hearted and casual, anything goes, the music is usually Latin pop with a spot of AT, Flamenco and more hard core salsa thrown in. People can dance what ever style they want from shuffling around the handbags to a full on Sevillanas. Focus is on spot not progressive dances for obvious reasons.
Which has got me thinking. Has anyone ever tried or seen tried blending AT with social ballroom? ( ie progressive dances of mixed genres) I am quite happy dancing AT to non AT tracks ( although draw the line at Zorba the Greek ) But I like dancing to jazz especially and have A Tangoed to the odd rock track. I am wondering if it would work to do something similar to the above in a ballroom not a club for mixed styles. By that I mean at any given time people might be on the floor dancing different styles to the same track.Possible, barking or barking but possible? |
