People still love and listen to the original forms-"<BR/><BR/>This is true. But I ask you, do they still dance to it??? Where are all the groovy jivers and sexy rhythm 'n blues dancers of yesterday? Are they giving classes somewhere in how to dance to this stuff? Or has the music become Easy Listening?<BR/><BR/>Perhaps one day the Golden Age of Tango Music will only be purchased in box sets to give to music nuts. And have nothing to do with the tango dancing of the day. God, I hope not.<BR/><BR/>If people dance to robot music, they will dance like robots. Listo.<BR/><BR/>Tango without passion, elegance, sensuality and connection--well it's a robot walking through the Dreaded 8-Count Basic.<BR/><BR/>I hope passion has a future on the dance floor of tomorrow.tangocheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10012220622641996877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23522785.post-39687126031663871392007-08-20T19:17:00.000-07:002007-08-20T19:17:00.000-07:00I don´t think traditional tango music is going any...I don´t think traditional tango music is going anywhere. Of course there will be new forms, but even traditional music has evolved and changed over the times.

Electronica music is played very rarely in traditional milongas. Even at our neotango festival, there was very little electronica, it was mostly traditional music. But I've heard that in some cities, non-traditional music is starting to get phased out along with "outdated" tango, neotango being the new fashion. Makes me even more glad I live where I do.<BR/>But I highly highly highly doubt traditional tango music will ever be stopped playing. It speaks to us like no other music can.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10319814183305358561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23522785.post-50198653492218413292007-08-20T11:53:00.000-07:002007-08-20T11:53:00.000-07:00Hola Sarah!When I lived in the States, a lot of pe...Hola Sarah!<BR/><BR/>When I lived in the States, a lot of people told me proudly that they could dance tango to anything--foxtrot, Beethoven, whatever.<BR/><BR/>This brings us back to the old question, if it's not tango music, then is it tango dancing?<BR/><BR/>Saludos!tangocheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10012220622641996877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23522785.post-53429780699026958522007-08-20T11:12:00.000-07:002007-08-20T11:12:00.000-07:00Hi Cherie,I just returned from BA two weeks ago, w...Hi Cherie,<BR/><BR/>I just returned from BA two weeks ago, where for the first time I saw people dancing to electronic tango. I swear I had no idea it was even possible until I saw it at Villa Malcolm one night. <BR/><BR/>So while I don't think traditional tango music is going anywhere soon, I also don't think people will stop dancing if it did.<BR/><BR/>SarahSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550768046146939844noreply@blogger.com
