Buenos Aires talks tango!!!. Walk down San Telmo, Palermo or La Boca and you will read tango art and history in tango dancers on the streets or clubs, and in the "machista" attitude the man adopts to dance with the woman, when he drives or even when he whispers loving words.

Argentina’s capital is an intense city, different than Paris in its character, but with the same sense of mystery that you find if you travel to Istanbul. And like Berlin has been named "City of Design" for its architecture, trendy stores, fashion, traditional cafes, not to say, the character and creativity of "porteños", with their knowing sense of itself.
 It’s also the city of  fury and hopes, fire and wind, love and hate: all of these opposites layers as Spanish and Italian immigrants, gauchos, political defenders, economic crashes, constant identity crisis , poetry,  popular leaders embody by Evita, Che,  Maradona, Ginobily, Messi, Del Potro, Vilas, and  inspiration muses as Piazzola, Gardel, Borges, Barenboim, Marta Argerich, .....literally melting one with the other.  For sure...you will find all this expressed in the lyrics and rhythm of tango music and dance.

Argentines define tango “a feeling”, different for every person, but besides individual responses to the music, the common emotion is nostalgia and longing. Tango is cathartic, sublimates the very sadness it expresses, thanks to the all-powerful embrace, which offers the dancers comfort and consolation. The language associated with the dance, is the expression of romance, emotion, love, heartbreak and passion. It's an intimate, silent conversation between two. The music tugs at your heartstrings, tango singers convey the emotional content with their voices and the rest of the story weaves in with the dance itself.
Tango is improvisational and unpredictable, similar to a puzzle that gets put together differently each time. There are no real "steps" but a walk forward, back and sideways. The man leads with his mind and body, and the woman follows with hers. She adds adornments and embellishments, while he is in control of the flow; they dance heart to heart and only the legs express differently.
The woman consent to dance is a glimpse. A simple look tells the man “yes you may approach and make me dance”. Then she will walk into the open arms, for him to hold wordlessly before they begin to move.   Eventually, due to the close embrace combined with strong or smooth moves, they fall in love. However, the sensuous communication and intimacy will only last for three minutes.  Tango is about longing for something you can only shortly have.
So…Argentine tango is an art form that captures the magnificent elements of  passion and drama coupled with raw emotion and improvisation. The spirit and beauty of this addictive dance is a translation of life itself, no wonder why Tango  it’s been called "the history of love...for three minutes."
