Subject: Ithaca Tango Winterfest: online maps
I won't send out another full announcement about this weekend's winterfest
in Ithaca, NY, but since we have so many people coming from other cities
and Canada, I wanted to point out the following helpful resources:
Ithaca maps:
http://www.ithaca.ny.us/
Click on "About Ithaca", then "Maps."
Cornell campus map (to find Statler Auditorim):
http://www.cornell.edu/CUinfo.html
See "Campus Maps" under the heading "The Cornell Campus"
NOTE: Campus parking can be a bear, so allow ample time. For those coming
to the Friday evening performance, I recommend the parking garage next to
the football stadium, Schoellkopf Field. It's a chilly but brief walk to
the Statler. Parking space is plentiful at the Montessori school on Sat &
Sun.

Safe travels....

I did pay too much attention to earlier answers on this question,
however, the VW arrangement is on the CD, "Buenos Aires by night,"

Subject: The DJ
Several milongas I attended over the past month have led me to believe
that the DJs role at a milonga is poorly understood--and even by many
who accept that role.
At the milonga I liked the most, it seemed as though the DJ was always
playing just the right music. In retrospect, I think he did more than
simply play a mixture of the best tangos, milongas and valses for
dancing. Early in the evening, he was playing tangos that had simple
and clear rhythms. I think this helped to educate the dancers to the
rhythm. He played music with more challenging rhythms late in the
evening. In fact, he even slipped Gideon Kremer's recording of (Astor
Piazolla's) Oblivion into the late night play list. I think he was
also sensitive to the energy of the room, switching the orchestras and
sounds so the music always seemed fresh to our ears and feet.
At three other milongas, it seemed like the music was simply mixed.
The quality of these efforts was uneven, but none were as good as the
first I describe.
At one milonga, the DJ relied heavily on a play list that was
described as the most frequently played tangos in Buenos Aires. The
result was fairly good because it eliminated poor choices, but there
seemed to be no inspired chocies either. I enjoyed dancing to each
piece of music, but at the end of the evening, I did not feel that I
had heard or been able to dance in a satisfying progression to the
music. It did not seem like the DJ was ever really in touch with the
room.
At a another milonga, the DJ used lengthy preprogrammed tapes.
Although the set of tapes contained good music, it seemed as though
the DJ was never quite able to match the mood of the room. It also
seemed as though the tapes might have been played in a different order
than was originally intended because the tape of late evening music
seemed to come on very early.
At a fourth milonga, the DJ was played late-era Pugliese, Calo and
Troilo, as well as Piazolla quite heavily early in the evening, and
D'Arienzo, Di Sarli and early Pugliese quite heavily late in the
evening. From my observations, most of the dancers seemed befuddled
about or oblivious to the rhythm througout most of the evening.
