ROOM

The evening in Tango

"Creator of silouettes that glide by silently
as if hypnotized by a blood-filled dream,
hats tilted over sardonic sneers.
The all-absorbing love of a tyrant,
jealously guarding his dominion
over women who have surrendered submissively,
like obedient beasts...
Sad, severe tango...
Dance of love and death..."

from 'Tango' a poem by Ricardo Güiraldes, 1911

Discovered Tango at an Argentine party...was beautiful as was the music

Liked the tango dance orchestra music, Neuvo Tango (infused with jazz and classical), Electro Tango (by Gothan project and Tango Club Bajofondo)

And also the musical element of the Bandoneon that gives an elusive and sensual sound
