Mashup of Billboard’s top 25 hits, from 2009

I had to share this video from DJ Earworm, it’s one of the most ambitious mashups that I’ve seen, and is a much better execution than his 2008 effort.

Top Nuevo Tango Video Ever?

I feel that this video was key in the development of what some people call nuevo tango. It’s from 2004 and yet there’s still a LOT to learn. In it are Chico Frumboli, and Eugenia Parrilla. The technique is a bit rough, in particular Eugenia’s hips are a bit out of control, but it has a lot of interesting axis and rhythmic play.

This motivated me to take a few private lessons with Eugenia, and boy were they worth it. Her technique is very deep and precise, and she knows the body well. She’s a gyrotonic teacher trainer, which is a sort of more internal circular version of pilates.

It’s funny, the path of mastery is very deep. I think that Eugenia now is a superior dancer to Eugenia of 2004, and yet she was even then at the pinnacle of teaching and dancing. That’s part of why I love dance, and tango in particular: you can never stop improving.

Here’s a vid from our YouTube Channel, DanceHopChannel, with Bruno Tombari & Mariangeles Caamaño, performing at Villa Malcolm. The quality leaves something to be desired, so if anyone can recommend a semi professional camera that can also record video well, please let me know in the comments.

Here’s a video I just put up on Youtube showing a friend playing bandoneon and singing, for New Years at Studio Dinzel in Buenos Aires. I saw him a few days later performnig with a group in Salon Canning, the scene down there is VERY interconnected.
