For Eugenia Park, first came marriage, kids, and immigration from the Soviet Union to raise her family in the United States.

Then came a love affair with tango that has stood the test of time.

Show Notes

  • Eugenia started our conversation by sharing this article by Cacho Dante. Recommended reading for a firsthand perspective on the meaning of “milonguero.” And here’s even more history and analysis of “milonguero style” tango!
  • Pyotr Leshchenko, a.k.a. "The King of Russian Tango,” is the songwriter and singer Eugenia listened to as a child in Ukraine. Here are some examples of his music.
  • Chan Park continues his tango journey in Europe, where he teaches Tango Zen.
  • Wikipedia kindly provides pictures of Argentine Tango figures including boleos and ganchos.
  • The song accompanying Eugenia’s episode is a milonga, a musical genre commonly played along with tango and vals at tango dance parties (also called milongas!) Here are a few favorite examples of dancers performing to milonga songs.
