[Tango-L] Paiva vs El Indio

[Barbara Garvey]

If Listeros are interested in the "best" of YouTube tango, these are not 
even close. Damian's Dad Orlando Paiva WAS as close to perfection in 
tango salon technique as I've ever seen, personifying elegance and 
tenderness and care for his partner. I think there is only one video of 
him on YouTube, not the best presentation.
Other opinions of the best of YouTube tango??
