[Tango-L] Swango music

[Tuan]

Hola,

Unfortunately, when it comes to Swango, it is usually a combination of
West Coast Swing and Tango. West Coast Swing is more "ballroomy" than
the original form of Swing which is also known as the Lindy Hop. I
particularly like this interview with Louise Thwaite:

I have a look at the site of swango seattle, and the music they quote as
swango music, is tango nuevo as they call it , i.e. narcotango, bajo
fondo , gotan project.etc.. Also some musical singings by Queen Latifah
,Tina turner.
   
  Well...., it looks as a ball room dancing subject , there have been
made performances on stage ...  It is not clear wether the teaching of
this swango is for ballroom contest, or as a proposal of alternate
dancing for a dancing place.
   
  Is too early to put a label on this swango , if they are happy
learning and dancing ... blessed them all . As far as I see, it is quite
apart yet to be considered a tango dancing style , it could be taken as
a social dancing amusement .
   
  I wonder what could be out of a merge from quick step and milonga ....

   
  Quicksteponga ?? With a music track from the milonga "Orillera" from
quinteto pirincho embedded into the "live and let die" theme from Paul
Mac Cartney ( that has been played by another group, as he say on stage
when came to Buenos Aires on 1994)
   
   
  warm regards
