Myself, I've always thought of Tangos as being the most feminine of all the styles and best done with women singers and dancers, who can really dominate the cante or baile with that lush, fiery and sultry feminine charm.
I don't know why that is?
Man, there was this female singer (in her 20's) on Ondajerez TV a while ago from some Jerez peña who just made my heart practically stand still!
Not just feminine and sexy, but "womanly" and "womankind" also, like it's their own style...as in this fun video...
OMG Ailsa this is a G rated forum...lets stay away from that kind of sexual innuendos please
See i told you Ron ..thats what happens ..u let a woman into the forum and they corrupt our otherwise innocent and wholsome toughts

wholsome
on a side note is freaking annoying...I am up with all the good words but i dont know how to spell any of them correctly
i think the spelling different to pronuncing was invented in the old days because technology wasent very advanced and they didnt have dvds and they didnt know then what we know now...i wonder how long before we abolsih this old fashion way of writting what we mean..
we dont stab eachother with swords anymore so why the fu*k are we still having to spell u know i am right !!and i am not coming over to your side (the spellers ) cause anyday now it will be abolished...i hate learning stuff thats never going to be usefull in life...or just stick a chatroom with a camera in here and il just expres myself with body language like the cave days with sounds and moneky like jestures
lol i was going to post this picture of a caveman as a exageration joke...then i looked at my profile pic and realized ...hmm maybe i shouldnt make fun of him ..could be me on a day i missed a shower
anyway ignore me ...i am feeling silly...i practiced all day yesterday and today..havent done much else, sleped - practiced, sleped - practiced, emailed..last few hours practiced alot of picado and feels like my brain cant relax its still speeding..(cause the brain has to procces fast) i need to watch some movie to chill out..for some reason i feel like i just had 30 strong coffies all in one go but my practice concetration and my will to touch the guitar anymore today just left me ( amazing just as you get the best picado of your life and you feel best you ever felled playing...its time to go to bed...just once it would be perfect if i had a gig at 5 in the morning...)...if i keep sitting in front of the computer il keep thinking of "funny" things to write ...u seem like nice people...havent done anything to me so il spare you

Nowadays it's fashionable to stab each other with words.

Yeah, everything's oiled and running smooth and there's no creaky joints, right-hand clumsiness or pain in fretting fingers. When you spend an hour or two going over something slowly and carefully (learning new material) it feels easy like that when you go back to playing "normally."

I agree with you, Ron. Has something to do with shaking one's a-s-s. Like the silly singsong taunting of small children (nah-nah-nah-nah-NAH-nah). Hope that reads coherently!

It can be fun for the whole family, as here, but the women are definitely in charge:
p.s. another one who likes to dominate:
Hmmm, Habichuelas hasta en la sopa, Esteban. That looks like one hell of a party!
That last video segues very nicely with this link to what may be Pastora Pavon's all-time best recording of tangos, complete with letras! Notice that La Golondrina (in the last video) sings, "Al Uruguay..."

Silly! Of course the women are in charge. Duuuuuuhhhhhh! I love Tangos - last night I was listening to Pepe Habichuela, A Mandelí and had the tangos track on repeat - couldn't get enough of it! Norman you have such a fantastic amount of knowledge. Next time I come to Jerez I want to buy you a manzanilla or several in return for some of that
Hi Ailsa, I look forward to that! BTW, I didn't mean to leave you out of my preceding message (addressed everyone else), I just couldn't think of anything to say!
