Noelia y Carlitos

Last week, Noelia y Carlitos did it again. In terms of tango, Vienna will never be the same. This performance shows how sharp but expressive both can be, with absolutely no doubts about their meticulous musicality. A delight that deserves a place in the tango Hall of Fame here on Argentine Tango Now.

Juan y Nora

I see from my mail box that you want more tango and less vals! Yes, the last few postings have been dominated by vals as I love it so much. But for those who want variety, here is the best 'Canyengue Now' that you could ask for. Juan y Nora have made a career from turning this old form of tango into a modern, accessible dance. Here is one of their best postings -it is defined by both the expression on Nora's face, and their reception from their adoring audience!

Murat y Michelle

There is one big problem with Murat and Michelle when it comes to posting....where to stop! Here from Ann Arbor, Michigan, the most delightful vals - playful, intriguing and novel. Breaking the embrace normally comes at a cost, but with Murat the lyricism of the dance prevails, and the performance enhanced.

Murat y Michelle

Be prepared to be seduced. Murat y Michelle do it again. Another stunning performance, this time, this month in Indiana. And Di Sarli's 'Quien sino tu' just to top off the deal!

Javier y Virginia

Whilst you need an eagle-eye for the detail, this great clip shows perfectly the energy and style of Javier y Virgina. It also demonstrates the reason many tangueros head for Sunderland when visiting Buenos Aires. Sunderland has an atmosphere all of its own, frequently described as unique amongst milongas.

Chico y Juana

As ever at the edge of somewhere you probably have not been before, Chicho y Juana still demonstrate pure, essential tango. Honest but imaginative, challenging but reassuring, edgy but consummate. Watch at least twice and you will grow to love it.
