As a fellow musician who both reads music well, but also can perform"by ear", I think your analogy could not have been better. For the many who can't successfully jot down notes of what they've learned, I have no argument; it's damned difficult to get it all down in a sufficiently precise way to understand it weeks later. However, if you can do it, I have found it highly valuable, even though it's admittedly only a small portion of the task of actually dancing well. I.e., it's just a building block on which to practice the more important elements of feel and sensitivity. However, I strongly believe that a solid grasp of a variety of small patterns can greatly enhance your pleasure when you add to that the most important elements of feel, posture, and sensitivity.

Peter, There's a gentleman here in downtown Sacramento, name of Georgio (?), that lets us dance free in his place, Paris Tavern, Tuesday nights. It was his idea; he's Argentine, and misses the tango. Our dancers don't drink much, however, so from our side, we try to buy sodas and things to support him. He's also started bringing food (sandwiches) that we can buy. If you can find a way to protect the livelihood, the income, of the bar owner, I think you have a better chance of success. ramiro garram @wellsfargo.com ---Peter Tyson <peter_tyson @SOFTHOME.NET> wrote: > > Hi there. > Wanted some comments on an idea i had, to see if it had worked elsewhere. > Where i'm from, (Wellington, New Zealand), we don't have any bars that have > a bit of regular tango (from my limited experience).

Date: Mon, 8 Mar 1999 16:13:39 EST From: Jack Karako <JKarako @AOL.COM> Subject: News from New York Baila Tango s first Milonga Argentine Tango a la Turca (March 6th) was a big success. Almost 380 people attended the event with 160 of them taking the beginners lesson. What a nice shot in the arm for the Tango community in New York. Although we were expecting a nice size crowd, 380 was surprising. Despite the small problems -we run out of wine too fast, may be the Turkish wine we served was too good :) and we forgot to make the short speech about the history of Tango in Turkey and the Ottoman empire era - most everyone had a great time with guest performers from Turkey; Tanju & Tuba, and our very best Metin & Rebecca. When four belly dancers , thanks to our friend Hamza from Boston who found these very talented and gorgeous women, took the stage with delightful numbers we had a night to be remembered. I would like to thank everyone who came and shared the passion of Tango with us, especially those who crossed the state and the country borders for this event. The Baila Tango milongas will continue regularly (with surprises) every Saturday at Ballroom on Fifth (319 5th Ave at 32nd Street) for $10, with a free beginners lesson at 8:30PM. Thanks Jak Karako Jkarako @bailatango.com We have a new web site www.BailaTango.com In a week or so you may be able to find out about us and our events and even some videos & pictures from our nights.


Date: Mon, 8 Mar 1999 15:43:02 -0600 From: Roger Ray <r-ray @NWU.EDU> Subject: Re: Events in Clubs/bars. Given that a lot of dancers don't seem to drink much (at least when out dancing) and the proliferation of coffee houses/bars (in US cities at least), does the coffee house represent another possible venue for these types of informal events? It probably wouldn't go over in the big chain places, but there seem to be a lot of independent coffee bars that could use a boost in clientele, especially in off-peak hrs. The independents seem more likely to be in older, rehabbed spaces, which are often roomier & have wood floors, too. -- Roger Ray

Date: Mon, 8 Mar 1999 17:07:13 EST From: Timothy Pogros <TimmyTango @AOL.COM> Subject: Tango Bars I myself started Tango Cleveland in a bar. After all tango belongs there. I tried a Ballroom dance studio but found the rent kind of high, and the people there want to learn all the ballroom dances, not just Argentine Tango. Whereas a bar just might give you 1/2 of the door. Why pay rent, when you can make money. The bar loves more people coming to the establishment. It also gives you more exposure to people who other wise not see tango. Timmy


Date: Mon, 8 Mar 1999 17:11:11 -0500 From: "Walter M. Kane" <oldzeid @FRONTIERNET.NET> Subject: Translation update Hi all, The list has grown by about 250 subscribers since the Lyrics Page was introduced a little over a year ago, so some of you may not know about it. There you you can find tango songs translated into English.=20 You dance to the music, but when you see what the poetry is about, you c= an find some additional depth in the song, and enjoy the dance all the more. Those of you who understand Spanish may take it for granted. For some of = us linguistically-impaired gringos, it's a new experience. Since its inception a little over a year ago, the lyrics collection has grown to 37 songs. For a taste of what's there, I'm tagging the most rece= nt addition to the list to the end of this message. You'll enjoy the presentation on the website much more, though. Look for your favorite son= g at: http://www.hooked.net/~tangoman/letras.htm The translations were all done by Tango-L subscribers, including the host= , TangoMan, and other Listeros who've shared their biligual expertise with those of us who aren't fluent enough to grasp the meaning of lyrics as we hear them... Thanks, Frank, Ramon, Ernst, Dar=EDo -- hope I didn't leave anyone out...... If I did, then translate another and remind me ;-). We welcome new translations of tango songs from anyone willing to contribute his or her linguistic talent, and, of course, the translator's name is prominently displayed with the song (so you'll be famous!). If yo= u have a favorite that you'd like to translate, and need the Spanish lyrics= , I can usually direct you to the source, or send them to you. If you have a special song you'd like to see translated, and you don't fi= nd it on the Lyrics Page, let us know and we'll see if we can get it done fo= r you. Tangringo ******************************* If you ever get to hear Mercedes Simone sing Abandono, I hope you will think that the following translation does it justice. ABANDONO Letra de Homero Manzi. M=FAsica de Pedro Maffia.


Llega el viento del recuerdo aquel al rinc=F3n de mi abandono y entre el polvo muerto del ayer, tambi=E9n volvi=F3 tu querer. Yo no s=E9 si vivir=E1s feliz o si el mundo te ha vencido... si viviendo sin querer vivir busc=E1s la paz de morir. The wind of memory approaches that corner of my abandonment and amid the dead dust of yesterday, your love also returned. I don't know if you will live happily or if you the world has defeated you... If living without wanting to live, you seek the peace of dying.


=20 Duda de tu ausencia y de mi culpa, pena de tener que recordar. Sue=F1o del pasado que me acusa, manos que no quieren perdonar. Dolor amigo de estar con tu sombra, remordimiento de saberte buena. Dolor lejano de o=EDr que te nombran las voces muertas que se obstinan en volver. Doubt of your absence and of my blame, sorrow of having to remember. Dream of the past that accuses me, hands that don't want to forgive. Friendly pain of existing with your shadow, regret of knowing you are good. Distant pain of hearing the dead voices that name you again and again.


Ya no sue=F1o que retornar=E1s al fracaso de mi vida ni tampoco que en tu palpitar tendr=EDa un af=E1n para andar. S=F3lo quiero que si est=E1s tambi=E9n en la cruz del abandono, sepas olvidarme en su perd=F3n... Total, mir=E1 lo que soy. Now I don't dream that you will return to the failure of my life, nor that in your heart, You would have the urge to leave. I only wish that if you are also on the cross of abandonment, You will know how to forget me in your mercy... So, look at what I am.


Pena de tu ausencia sin retorno, pena de saber que no vendr=E1s. Pena de escuchar en mi abandono, voces que me acusan al llegar. Dolor amigo de estar con tu sombra, remordimiento de saberte buena. Dolor lejano de o=EDr que te nombran, las voces muertas del ayer feliz. Sorrow of your absence without return, sorrow of knowing that you won't come back, Sorrow of hearing in my abandonment, voices that accuse me when they arrive. Friendly pain of existing with your shadow, regret of knowing you are good. Distant pain of hearing the dead voices, of yesterday's happiness that name you.


Yo no s=E9 si vivir=E1s feliz o si el mundo te ha vencido... si viviendo sin querer vivir busc=E1s la paz de morir. I don't know if you will live happily or if you the world has defeated you... If living without wanting to live, you seek the peace of dying. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

That is very important to me -- I am older now and have a regular partner - but would still be somewhat shy if required to turn up on my own to dance tango in a bar scene While I am not opposed to people seeing me dance -- I can be acutely uncomfortable with the feeling of being watched especially in a pub Women are taught that to attract sexual attention to themselves is to put themselves at risk -- certainly how safe the women feel must be one aspect of whether a tango community will grow. I know we all must be able to be present in a very physically intimate space without feeling invaded -- in order for our dance partnerings to be respectful. It has been one of my greatest pleasures to find a trust with many dance partners in this: to have some very subtle and even sublime dances and then say thank you very much and walk on freely to find another partner among the regular group of dancers. I personally don't like the bar scene -- so I am happy for Tango dances to happen in club rooms and studio/salons myself, It would really depend on the bar I suppose........ regards: faera

When I told him of our Tanslation Project, he asked me if it was ok if he would translate Mi Buenos Aires Querido!

Hey Global Tango List, I'm fortunate enough to be traveling to Montreal on business March 25th through the 28th, and I want to take full advantage of the many opportunities to dance tango this cosmopolitan city has to offer. From the web sit, "www.tango.montreal.qc.ca", there are several milongas and pracitcas listed Thursdays through Sundays. Some listings are in French; some are in English. I'm wondering which milongas and practicas would be the best for this Anglo / Californian, who has enough trouble with American English even more with Quebecois French, to attend? Thanks, David
