Hard To Sit Down Period
Defensa and "Loaca!"
After it had rained again on Saturday, we woke up on Sunday at stahlendem sunshine, but only at a temperature of 16 degrees. As with each of our stays in Buenos Aires it is compulsory to go to a Sunday on Calle Defensa and the Plaza Dorrego. Here you can buy antiques and other junk, actors and musicians to listen and watch. Some things have changed here now - fewer items and the tango shows of "El Indio" no longer existed. Moreover, it was exceptionally empty for the nice weather - probably because of the season - we are not really in the high season here. As you can see in the picture, we are also in Buenos Aires :-) represented
in the evening we then Milonga Loca! " Chalmers in the Club on Calle Vega Niceto driven - a beautiful, new location. Here the youth dance to classical Tango music. The dance level is very high - but it is danced wildly. This is comparable with the Milonga PraktikaX, Milonga8 and Villa Malcolm. By midnight it was then also full. So far we have heard here in Buenos Aires Tango Nuevo only as a Cortina in the streets or from music shops for tourists. Also, we were unable to find the current boom of tango and contact improvisation here somewhere - but Buenos Aires is indeed a very large city ...

Compitability Same Birthday
El Beso, Porteño y bailarín, National, and Soho Tango Nuevo Chique
On Tuesday evening, we started to dance in the "El Beso". The milonga starts already at 18 clock, end to 1 clock and was not so well attended. It played an exceptional number salsa, rock and even a Chacarera Tanda. The DJ put on quite chaotic and has not followed the usual rules governing the order of the music. During the 200 years celebration is being played in every Milonga Argentine national anthem, to which everyone stand up and sing along all the Argentines very proud. Shortly after 11 clock, we are then changed into more Porteño y bailarín, where, after midnight was a bit fuller. Here, too, was again played the national anthem. We are then driven back before the show dance by 2 clock back to the apartment. After we here in Buenos Aires travel a lot on foot and in the evening go much for dancing, the feet do but at some point felt ....
On Wednesday - the last Days of the 200 anniversary of the 9 de Julio - was then a state of emergency in Buenos Aires. All public transport was free today, and accordingly they were full too. A Ölsardine has more room in her box! On the 9 de Julio certainly had more than 1 million people crowded closely together on the road - that is not for us. We were there, but we are not there long endured.
evening we went back to National for milonga "Mi Refugio" down, which unfortunately took place the last time. We wanted to go to 1 clock to still go to another Milonga, but the organizer could not understand at all that we wanted to go before the live music. He had We're not talking about long and so we stayed still. The Sexteto Unitango was worth it too - who have played beautifully and the singer was great. As here in almost all milongas, it was just too loud.
On Thursday afternoon we were short in the new DNI Studio Bulnes in 1011, is under renovation where strong. The shop is here to become a lot bigger than it was in the old premises. Except Pablo and Dana now is not another teaching couple more from the "old guard" here in the DNI, which we had met in 2007. When we were back here in 2008, the first two couples have already not been there. After the DNI's visit, we have made a side trip to Club de Tango where you can buy everything about tango: Books, CDs, sheet music, posters, etc. - but has not changed much here since our last visit.
In the San Juan near the Rivadavia Thursday afternoon milonga is the "Nuevo Chique", which was then around 19 clock very well attended. The predominantly older dancers know each other well - we were probably the only non-Argentines to this milonga.
evening it was still in the Villa Malcolm, where we mitbekamen nor the last trains of the teaching of "Soho Tango," because this time our bus drove a much shorter distance than we knew, and we therefore almost 15 minutes arrived. There, mainly dance young people to classical music. Mario Bournissen asked us if we are not in next week's Milonga want to audition. We look forward ...
