A Taste of Honey February 5 2015

Tango (possibly from the Latin tangere,meaning ” touch”), is a partner dance that originated in the 1890’s along the Rio de la Plata, the natural border between Argentina and Uruguay, and soon spread to the rest of the world.
It has been suggested that tango makes people more relaxed, sexier and less depressed, and increases testosterone levels !
Music and dance elements of tango are popular in in activities related to gymnastics, figure skating, synchronised swimming etc., because of its dramatic feeling and its cultural associations with romance.
Tango has been the subject of film, both real and of legend, tied to famous lives and intrigues of every dimension.
Today,I am joined by the members of Tangalo, the brainchild of Emily-Rose Sarkova and Owen Salome. Tangalo make a concerted effort to engender a live music dance culture in Australia. Their music includes a wide array of music including ‘golden-age’ repertoire and a growing number of original compositions. With Tangalo’s expertise and additional music from Astor Piazzolla, Julio Iglesias, Duo Ramirez Satorre, Shakira, Gotan Project, Caterina Valente and more, throw away your inhibitions and be careful with your morning coffee of whatever variety and dance around your room while sharing the fire and passion of 90 minutes of Tango.
