Yes, finally, I'm taking tango lessons. For years I've been attracted by these rythms and steps, and last year all spring and summer I have been watching the dancers dancing by the river. The dancing season on the banks of the river Seine will start at the end of May and this year I will join the dance!

I'm not that crazy about these ball dances, but tango is really different. It's all about body communication, attention and alertness, understanding what is coming, step by step, without anticipating, without watching neither the partner's eyes nor feet. The man leads, making it confortable and secure for the woman who follows, not knowing what will come next.

Here is my music of the month, Gotan Project's Santa Maria, for old times' sake, so to speak... When "la revancha del tango" was released in 2001, I could loop-listen to it, days and days in a row. I've seen the group perform twice in Lisbon, the first concert was almost their debut, the second time was very professional, I remember it was such a good moment!
