Show Notes

• Here’s more background on the tango renaissance.  
• Listen to examples of Canaro from the '30s.  
• See examples of performances by Graciela González and Pedro “El Indio” Benavente.
• As promised, some favorite videos of Juampy Ramírez dancing (with Daniel Arroyo).
• I asked Juan to share some “poem” performances - his own and those of other artists. He shared his recent performance with current dance partner Virginia Cutillo; these three videos from his years touring with Sol Orozco; and videos of Carlos Espinoza and Noelia Hurtado; Horacio Godoy and Cecilia Berro; Chicho Frumboli and Juana Sepulveda;  Clarisa Aragón and Jonathan Saavedra; El "Chino" Perico and Silvia Damiani; and Ricardo Vidort and Myriam Pincen. All amazing!!!
