[Tango-L] LA MILONGA-CANDOMBERA

[Jean-Pierre Sighe]

"   Very few teachers in the Tango arena venture into the Milonga-Candombera subject. In fact, Tango is always taught as some strange phenomenon that just fell off the sky and materialized on its own, in Buenos Aires. To teach the Milonga-Candombera is to effectively point to the substantial link between Candombe and Tango. One could not speak of Candombe or  Milonga-Candombera and be silent about the African descendants in Buenos Aires, or the Afro-Argentines. "
