Complex tangos sung in both spanish and yiddish with great authenticity.

From artist's website about one album: Tells the story of piringundines, from German cabaret to the Buenos Aires tango venue, and with the tango it will take us through a history of crossed destinies, and misunderstandings, love, and forget that we identifys as Argentinians.

00:05
There are leads where you move your partner.
00:07
Those leads are I"m "going to say roughly at the same level. so, I can say to her:
00:10
"Go away from me."
00:12
He would never say that.
00:13
"Come towards me"
00:14
That's the one, that's the good one.
00:15
If both arms move, or the whole body moves, I can say:
00:18
"Go around me".
00:20
If I spin her, this is rotational - "Go around yourself".
00:25
Front ocho, back ocho, boleo, part of molinette.
00:28
A small part, the bigger part is the other kind.
00:32
If I want her to extend along the floor,
00:35
Then, instead of it being about this, it's more downward and then outward, downward and then in.
00:40
So, for example, if I want her to extend out - I say this.
00:46
And then I extend out.
00:48
It could be to any direction.
00:50
Same lead, when you're going to the side,
00:52
Because her feet are more narrow from the side,
00:56
If you watch here, I do a much more subtle lead to the side.
01:03
Or to the other side.
01:05
Then I would do, necessarily, if I were going to the back. In which case, I\it can go a lot more.
01:10
You see, that's more macroscopic movement.
01:14
If you wanted to be in the air with a leg - gancho, boleo, anything like that,
01:18
You'll see, in the embrace, we lift up.
01:21
And then it can go forward.
01:23
Or up, and then around.
01:26
Well, what if you put that one together. Put that one together. I didn't like the way that looked.
01:30
That's the way it supposed to be.
01:32
If... So, we have up, we have down,
01:36
When you bring it up, then you can...
01:38
After you've gotten the leg up, then you don't have to worry about her stepping.
01:42
So, then you can bring it...
01:42
That's true!
01:43
Right, she's out there, she starts hopping madly.
01:46
So, because you don't have to worry about her stepping, after you get her leg off the floor,
01:49
Then you can start to move the free leg, by swinging it in different directions.
01:52
And that's really what we do do when we're in the lean, and then he's moving it around.
01:57
Right, so, for example, I'm here.
01:59
I can pull the leg forward, for example.
02:03
Let's say I get my leg out of the way. Why not?
02:06
Bring it in, up over. And that was led, right?
02:10
She had no idea.
Yeah, I had no idea what he was going to do.
02:14
Nancy: I frequently have no idea what he's going to do.
David: So, we have transitional, which is at the same level,
02:18
Rotational around her, rotational around him.
02:21
And then, if you push up or down, and then in some direction,
02:24
You can cause the free leg to move in lots of interesting ways.
