Great source of tango music and tango related info!

I recently discovered a large resource for tango music and other tango related information on eSnips.

You can listen to a lot of tango music from the very very old - the earliest I found are from 1907! (e.g. Hotel Victoria) - to the latest neotango music. It’s easy to create and save your own playlists as well.

Some interesting resources to start with:

• The “Biblioteca Tanguera” with pdf books on tango (mostly in spanish).
• The “Discografias” with discographies of most orchestra’s.
• For old and rare tango’s check “Guardia Vieja” and “Orquestas Olvidadas“.

For anything else you can just search the name of any song and/or artist. It’s an amazing collection and everyone can contribute to it!

Ultra Cool D’Arienzo Video!

Just found this very cool video on youtube, Juan D’Arienzo is wild! This is just Rock ‘n’ Roll!
The song is “Loca”, and it’s recorded somewhere in the first half of the 1960’s:

Bajofondo: capturing the energy

On Halloween there was a Bajofondo concert in Hasselt, it was the second time this year that I saw them and as always it was an excellent and exciting concert, not to be missed! It’s so good to see the fun and pleasure that these guys have on stage. They were even wearing Halloween masks!
Moreover, I bought the new CD “Mar Dulce” and had it autographed by Santaolalla, Ferres and Supervielle! Yes! I’m happy

I tried to capture the energy and action of the concert in photographs, just as I try to capture the action of tango dancing. I like to see movement in photographs so it’s not all sharp and crisp. It’s more impressionistic I guess…

Here are my attempts:
