[Tango-L] Learning from You Tube

[barbara]

Mario, thanks for this! Small world story: The last time Al and I were 
in BsAs, we took a taxi back from a restaurant and asked the driver to 
return to take us to the airport. When we got in the cab the second time 
the driver said " I saw you last night at Sunderland; you were sitting 
at a table near the entrance and then Ada joined you." He then explained 
that he taught tango in Saavedra, and was Javier Rodriguez' father. It's 
great to have a video of him dancing, and to know that there are various 
Rodriguez siblings . It's also a good example of simplicity and 
musicality.. .

By seeing how Jorge dances in this video I am seeing how he's marking out that underlying beat. He's bringing that beat out it into the foreground where I can hear and recognize it. Wow, they are with the music.
