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
- This one is so easy but
I never see people doing it. - 00:09
- It really switches from front ocho to back ocho
just by taking one step. - 00:14
- I’m tempted to say, I never see us
seeing it is so 'easy' either. - 00:16
- Oh it’s not so easy?
- 00:17
- No, it is. It is. I agree with you.
But it’s unusual. - 00:20
- So here’s our front ocho, side, change,
pivot, step, pivot, step. - 00:24
- And this time instead of a pivot, we step
and now we’re onto back ochos. - 00:28
- So that’s all it is,
is any time the leader wants - - 00:32
- D: So it’s pivot, step.
N: Anytime the leader wants. - 00:35
- Step, pivot, step and now
we're into front ochos. - 00:39
- So instead of doing a pivot, you replace it with a step and
then you go on. - 00:42
- And from either side.
- 00:44
- If you’re doing back ochos,
you can go into front ochos... - 00:46
- ..just by adding in the extra step.
- 00:47
- And front ochos you can go into back ochos
by adding an extra step. - 00:51
- For the followers as you do this,
let me be the girl. - 00:53
- Gr, I’m the guy. So this time
I get to pick how many we do. - 01:06
- I want you to think that really,
there’s a pause that you really eat it up. - 01:10
- You really lift, keep your body active and
then go into the next thing. - 01:14
- Instead of there’s a pause.
- 01:17
- He’s right. That’s important.
- 01:19
- “Oh I’m dancing. I forgot,”
And then you come back up. - 01:21
- So use that pause.
Make it rich and wonderful. - 01:24
- So that’s probably the first thing -
well I teach David classical dance... - 01:30
- ..and that’s probably the first thing
I taught him in classical dances. - 01:33
- You always dance. You just don’t say,
"Okay, now I’m dancing. Not I'm not" - 01:37
- So what he’s saying is, keep the energy moving
and it will stay beautiful.
