“The why is many, many things.”

Juan Cantone nerds out in the best of ways about experiencing the tango renaissance in his native Buenos Aires, the four aspects of tango, and the thing that will make him dance forever.

Show Notes

Here’s more background on the tango renaissance.

Listen to examples of Canaro from the '30s.

See examples of performances by Graciela González and Pedro “El Indio” Benavente.

As promised, some favorite videos of Juampy Ramírez dancing (with Daniel Arroyo).

I asked Juan to share some “poem” performances - his own and those of other artists. He shared his recent performance with current dance partner Virginia Cutillo; these three videos from his years touring with Sol Orozco; and videos of Carlos Espinoza and Noelia Hurtado; Horacio Godoy and Cecilia Berro; Chicho Frumboli and Juana Sepulveda; Clarisa Aragón and Jonathan Saavedra; El "Chino" Perico and Silvia Damiani; and Ricardo Vidort and Myriam Pincen. All amazing!!!
