TANGO E-NEWSLETTER

JUNE 2005

Dear Friends,

Our annual celebration in June brings to life the memories of Carlos Gardel. We would love to see you be a part of this event. Shall we dance?!

Mimi & Teddy

"People do not understand what I do, they think that I make money without doing anything. And I do make it, it is certain; I make a lot, but work many hours of the day. I get to record twenty songs each month. In addition to the recording, which in that form has to be almost daily, taking into account the instrumentation, the combination of guitars, the modifications that should always be introduced, so that the song and the instruments work well, and it will be visible what is my life; very pleasant, I cannot complain, only about the continuous work." (Gardel, Buenos Aires, June 30, 1929). 

SEVEN DECADES HAVE PAST... 

... since Carlos Gardel was killed in an accident. Today he lives on through the legacy he left behind. Bring to life his era by dressing in 1920's - 30's to remember his contribution to tango.

TANGO MUSIC AS THERAPY - 'CARLOS E. CARUSO'
In their home at Parlemo, Carlos shared his belief of tango music therapy over a delicious lamb roast prepared by his lovely wife Graciela. Working as a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst specialist in psychosomatic disorders, Carlos often uses tango music as part of his treatments.

A humble and gifted solo pianist, Carlos Caruso has recorded CD's, written books and performed in concerts all over the world. He will be visiting Canberra from the 7th to the 9th of July and will be performing and holding a master class at The Australian National University School of Music. 

We will have the chance to see Carlos Caruso in Sydney in July. Stay tuned! www.alittlebuenosaires.com.au
