Wow, that's quite a statement. Certainly it cannot be denied that 
Gustavo & Giselle's setting up home in Boulder makes Boulder somewhat 
special in the Tango department.

However, let me play devil's advocate (no cynicism intended) and ask, 
since really what to me defines Tango in Buenos Aires is not the dance 
as much as it is the music: What's going on in Boulder, if anything, in 
the Tango music department? Does it have a resident Tango orchestra? Or 
at least aspiring Tango musicians? Does the Tango energy of Boulder 
foment it? Would a Tango concert (no dancing) of good, but not 
particularly danceable, Tango music, fill a theatre of 500? Of 100?
