**Jaime¹s comments: It (³Tango Solo Mio³) was made around the early 80's by
a group of gringos ( not argentinos) but it captures the real tango.
Features many scenes in the tenement house (birth place of tango) and the
real tangueros ( no for export). It is half fiction half  real. Kind  of
something you add to the tango coffee. It is perfecto for the people of
Esmeralda. It has the usual suspects (Carlos GArdel), some fights and a real
milonguera (at that time 75 years old and going strong ) married to the same
guy for 60 years. She felt in love because he was the king of the milongas
and also he asked her to press his pants ( old fashioned courtship style of
poor people in Buenos Aires). Anyway, the film is funny, is 100 per cent
tango ( all tango, no fat) and no sex but a lot of lunfardo.
