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.- 00:04
- We want to start by explaining that we were looking around for a gancho...
- 00:08
- ..that would work when it was very crowded.
- 00:11
- And so David was working it out with Patti
and decided that we should call this... - 00:15
- ..the 'Don’t hit Alex' gancho.
- 00:18
- So show the ‘Don’t hit Alex’ gancho.
- 00:20
- Go for it, go for it.
- 00:22
- Alex will show the 'Don’t hit Alex' gancho.
- 00:24
- Actually I should – so this is Alex and here is the 'Don’t hit Alex' boleo.
- 00:29
- 00:30
- There’s Alex. There’s the boleo.
- 00:35
- You might hear a little bit of static
as she hits the mic but that’s okay. - 00:38
- So, come to this side, Alex, other side, so they can see, once again
- 00:41
- ..the “Don’t hit Alex” -
- 00:43
- So Alex is right here
and David is feeling very risqué. - 00:47
- Don’t do this, by the way, unless you know you’re really good,
you know your follower knows it... - 00:50
- ..and you know that the fellow on the other side
won't mind if you kick him. - 00:53
- Anyway… with all that said.
- 00:59
- So there’s the ‘Don’t hit Alex boleo.’
- 01:01
- And then, if we pivot her a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot,
then there's the 'don’t hit Alex gancho'. - 01:09
- With Alex right there.
- 01:11
- So, if you show it without me being so silly.
- 01:15
- David not so silly, can you believe it?
- 01:18
- When is David ever silly?
- 01:20
- That was nice.
- 01:21
- So first, forget the gancho, just do the boleo.
- 01:25
- Watch how much she turns.
- 01:27
- Watch how much he turns her.
It pivots and then it pivots more, bang. - 01:32
- So, I want you to think there's a two stage pivot.
- 01:34
- It gets here, there’s stage one. And then, let the arms adjust.
- 01:38
- Actually, I'm going to even pull this hand back, so, with them, it works fine,
but, it depends on who you’re dancing with. - 01:44
- So pull that arm back even more.
Them, it’s fine. But in general it's good to... - 01:49
- And then, the boleo can be so close,
that she could even kick him in the butt. - 01:54
- I’m going to kick you in the butt if you do that.
- 01:55
- I don’t know if that’s the goal, dear.
- 01:57
- She was trying, she's like – well here, just for fun.
- 02:02
- Alex, get into line.
- 02:05
- So, anyway, sorry.
- 02:06
- N: He is in line.
D: I know, he is. He’s really a darling. - 02:10
- So, there’s the boleo. Pivots,
pivots more, goes back, kicks. - 02:14
- And then, if you want the gancho, for the leader
you’re just going to basically stick your leg right past that path. - 02:21
- Now, as that happens, for the followers,
it’s always true but it’s especially true here... - 02:24
- ...you want to stay collected until the very end, bang.
- 02:27
- Because if you're not collected as you go,
then you'll hit the leg as you’re pivoting. - 02:31
- Do the wrong patti, don’t collect.
- 02:35
- And then…
- 02:36
- Whoops
- 02:36
- Oh, what happened? And we have a nice close up
of the feet for that too. - 02:40
- Do you really?
- 02:41
- D: Yes.
N: Oh wow. - 02:42
- Alright so one last time, there, over pivots,
he puts his leg in, bang, they come back. - 02:50
- Very good. Very good.
