Dear list,

a few months ago I had the luck to see G. Naveira in Atlanta performing on
the notes of a piece by Piazzolla.
He introduced the song calling it "Milonga libra" (I'm 90% sure of this) and
translating it as "Free Milonga" (I'm 100% sure of his translation).

I couldn't find this piece anywhere, not even mentioned on the internet and
I was wondering if any of you may help me out pointing me in the right
direction.

Thanks to you all in advance,

- Riccardo

I was there, too, and I remember it as "Milonga Tres",
translating it as Milonga Three, and he said that it was
chosen to celebrate that he & Giselle were now three,
a subtle public acknowledgement that they are pregnant.

I also remember that then they danced a dance so imbued with feeling--
so tender, joyful, loving, grateful, deeply connected, inspired and
evocative--that all were moved, some to tears, and that some sat
quietly for a long time, savoring the exquisite, intimate and
heart-felt fullness of what G&G had shared with us, and expressed
through tango...


Thanks for reminding me,
