Tango

Tango seems to be honoured every day in Buenos Aires, but according to this year's annual Tango Festival's slogan: "August is tango." Well, now we know. The event kicked off this week and offers classes for klutzy beginners (ahem, I may have a personal testimony coming soon) and displays of the best gliders in town. On Sunday night, I attended a powerful, mournful concert of tango music. Unfortunately, there was no dancing to gawk at, but the plain looking man in a suit (See below) was a wonderful singer.
