Brief Bios on Brooke & Gaby
Brooke Burdett, a tango instructor and driving force in the development of
the Colorado tango community, has been living in Buenos Aires since March
1997. She moved to Argentina to deepen her understanding of the dance and
its cultural environment and to strengthen her knowledge of the many diverse
styles learned from the great tango masters. Brooke teaches and performs
tango in Buenos Aires. Some of her most influential teachers have been
Gustavo Naveira & Olga Besio, Fabian Salas, Chicho, Graciela Gonzalez,
Florencia Taccetti, Mingo & Esther Pugliese and Juan Bruno.
Gabriel Gueberoff (Gaby), of Argentina, is one of the members of the most
innovative set of young tango dancers in Buenos Aires. Fluent in English,
Gaby is a natural teacher and communicator whose work with tango follows his
many years of teaching Israeli folk dances. Well-known by both North and
South American tangueros, Gaby has taught tango throughout the U.S. and has
been a featured instructor at the Tango Locura festival in Montreal.
Additionally, in April 1998, he completed an instructional video with
Luciana Valle on tango of the new generation.

Subject: NA-W: Colorado, Live Tango Music at the Mercury Cafe, Schedule
Denver's Mercury Cafe features milongas Friday evenings,
many with live tango music. We are fortunate that
Marilyn, the owner of the Merc', loves tango and does
so much to support it.
For lovers of live tango music among you, here is the schedule
for the next couple months.
We are fortunate to have TWO bands.
EXTASIS is our Denver-based quartet featuring Evan Orman on
bandoneon, Erin Furbee on violin, Ken Harper on double bass
and Rosanna Patrona-Aurand on piano.
Evan and Erin have studied in Buenos Aires. Erin and Ken
are professional symphony musicians who also love to play tango
for dancers. Evan is a professional cellist as well. These
four have become quite popular due not only to their talent
but due to the way they play for us dancers.
DANIEL DIAZ, bandoneonist, is an Argentine now living in Utah.
He grew up with the tango and had his own tango band when still
a teenager in Buenos Aires. He has been coming to Denver about
once a month to play at our milongas, including a recent weekend
with a 3-bandoneon septet. Daniel's schedule is filling up, with
invitations not only around the U.S. but in Europe. For more

Subject: NA-C: Austin, Spring Break?
Hi gang,
Myself and a couple of girlfriends are making plans to spend the week of
March 19-25 in Austin, Texas. I'll check the Austin tango website for
events but would also like some "insider" qualitative/anecdotal info about
where to go and what to see during our trip. I was last there in 1993 so I
have some familiarity, but could use an update!
We're planning on lots of dancing (swing, tango, salsa), live music,
sightseeing, and Tex-Mex food! Would appreciate recommendations of cheap
and fabulous restaurants, clubs with character, other special places,
and...inexpensive, decent places to stay.
Thanks in advance. (Can't wait to get out of this cold.)
--Robinne
Ithaca, NY
P.S. And I'm going to ask all the men to dance!

Subject: EU-W: Los Reyes del Tango planning Europe tour
Dear Listeras y Listeros!
We proudly present: Los reyes del Tango.
Los reyes del Tango embody the true spirit of an era of great Tango
orchestras. 9 outstanding, seasoned musicians, many of them performing
since the legendary '40s, the 'Epoca del Oro' for Tango, their music
hasn't been heard so energetically and genuine since the days of D'Arienzo
and D'Angelis. Joined by the voice of an outstanding young singer, who
could be their grandson, Los Reyes del Tango do what they do best: play
original Tango meant for dancing.
Currently you can find them every week in the most popular milongas of
Buenos Aires. 'Sold out' is the word most often heard when they perform
at Torquato Tasso or Ni=F1o Bien.
Considered Tango orchestra of the year in 1999, they played for all six
nights straight instead of the planned two at last years CITAS. They were
also selected to play on December 11, the National Tango holiday itself,
during the 2nd 'Festival International del Tango' in Buenos Aires (9-11
Dec. 99). Only the best play there, like Color Tango, El Arranque, Los
Cosos de al Lao with Alfredo Piro and the fabulous DJ Felix Picherna.
It is time to experience Los Reyes del Tango beyond the milongas of Buenos
Aires, and this time is now. Starting in the year 2000 Los Reyes del
Tango have agreed to go on a world tour. The first dates available for
Europe are in June.
Want to know more about the Reyes del Tango?
If you would like more information, or are interested in inviting these
living treasures of the great old orchestra days of Tango to perform at
your Milongas, please ask us for background information, bios, conditions,
CDs, at:
