MILONGA PARA
GAVITO - Lyrics by
Carlos D Gonzalez |
|
This song was written by Carlos D
Gonzalez for Gavito prior to his passing.
Cuentan que al bailar un duende
le habita el alma
y en su corazon late una voz de guitarra
Dicen que crecio, sonando paso tras paso,
cosas de un tiempo ninez, coreografias de barro.
De Avellaneda se fue...
a conquistar otros cielos
con un dolor en piel sus suenos alzaron vuelo
Hoy milonguean con el todas las musas del tango
es cada paso un pincel y cada abrazo un milagro.
Bailarin que anda buscando
en cada tango su sino
la vida se hace poesia
y un pentagrama el camino
Varon, corazon de nino,
que va de abrazo en abrazo
compartiendy piel a piel,
beso a beso, paso a paso.
Cuentan que al bailar la noche se
le hace larga
y su corazon hace el amor con el alba.
Dicen que con el bailan las diosas del tango,
es cada paso un pincel y cada abrazo un milgro. |

FIRST STEPS OF PASSION
Reporter Jason Avedissian from the Manly Daily joined our Manly
class for his first taste of Tango. He writes about his
experience in an article entitled 'Last tango in Parish'
(16th July 2005 p36&37).

Mimi slides over and I place my right arm around her waist
and gently hold her right hand up.
"The man always leads" she says. Good grief.
Right foot back, left foot
back, right foot outside her left, and so on. "Good, good,
Jason" Mimi says. I'm not sure if she's serious or just
inflating my sagging confidence.
I carry on, scared my size
12 leather shoes will crush her elegant, strapless heels. "Don't
worry about that, no-one has ever stepped on me" Mimi says. |

Learning to dance Tango is FUN!
Some of our new beginners shared their first impressions of
tango...
"It makes me feel sexy" "I like the improvisation" "I like not
knowing what comes next... it's exciting!"
'A Little Buenos Aires' runs
classes at four locations around Sydney (Sydney CBD, Crows Nest,
Manly and North Ryde).
We also run a special session every Wednesday (8pm - 10.30pm)
at "Q" Bar for the purpose of practicing "improvisation"
skills on the dance floor.
