" Very few teachers in the Tango arena venture into the Milonga-Candombera subject. In fact, Tango is always taught as some strange phenomenon that just fell off the sky and materialized on its own, in Buenos Aires. To teach the Milonga-Candombera is to effectively point to the substantial link between Candombe and Tango. One could not speak of Candombe or Milonga-Candombera and be silent about the African descendants in Buenos Aires, or the Afro-Argentines. "

We had some incredible workshops with Ernest Williams from Chicago this
weekend, which included Candombe, Canyengue and other roots of tango dancing
and music. What a delight and advantage to understand more about these
influences of tango! If you have a chance, try to get him him in to teach
some workshops. One advantage is that he was able to assist our local
community in some musicality issues that I believe were long neglected.
Understanding the roots of the music and the way that a variety of the
Argentine and Uruguayan cultures interpreted it is extremely helpful in
interpreting tango with our own dance style.
Then, as we are talking about connectivity, he taught workshops on Matrix
Tango. This is a way to improve connectivity through very slow, very
connected dancing. Quite enlightening!
