Podcasts about tango cafe

Brett August sits down with Chef Jonathan Martinez from the Tango Cafe in Hurleyville, NY and explores his roots and what the future looks like at the new Tango Cafe. 

Hello again everyone, We are happy to be back with a special short episode. We wanted to catch up after 8 months away and see how everyone is doing? What are your holiday plans? How have you been doing since our last episode? We featured music from Pablo Aslan's latest release and you can find that and much more here: avantangorecords.bandcamp.com/album/xmas-tango-project-milonga-edition It was really fun catching up. We discussed a lot about what inspires us to dance and where did we get inspired from first? The movement, or the music? Marcelo joined us again and thank you for calling in. We want to wish everyone a great Holiday and hope you have a great New Year as well. We hope to connect again soon!

For our final weekly episode we were joined by Mario De Camillis. Mario is a dancer, performer, and artist from Buenos Aires. He joined us from his neighborhood of Villa Crespo where he has lived since he was 9 years old. We chatted about his history as a dancer, how he got started who some of his influences are, and some of his favorite things about tango as well. We hope you enjoy the conversation. We will be continuing the podcast on a less frequent basis, but stayed tuned for announcements of when we will be having our next show!   Thank you all for listening, calling and being a part of this while we are all apart.

Tonight on the show we were joined by Daniel Trenner. If you are dancing tango, or have danced tango, in the US over the last 30 years, Daniel is probably part of the reason why. Daniel spent a good amount of time in the 1980's in Buenos Aires, before it was a tango tourist destination. During that time and after he studied with as many dancers and teachers as he could find. He made a series of over 80 instructional videos with over 40 artists capturing a very unique moment in the history of tango that would have otherwise been lost forever except through stories. During the tours he filmed interviews, Milongas, tour workshops, special private lessons, and parties. Today he has hundreds of hours of footage from this period, mostly on VHS and Hi8 tapes. Since 2010, he has been slowly working to preserve this library by digitizing and cataloging this aging material. His digital Tango Archive, 20 years in the making, will hopefully be released this year, but much of the material has yet to be converted and cataloged. Completing the project will require the support of the greater Tango community. There is a lot more being discussed in the show and we hope you enjoy learning about the history and growth of tango.
