Maria Nieves recently received the "artist of the year" award by A.C.E. (the
association of entertainment critics) in Buenos Aires. She appeared for
eleven months during 2002 with the show "Tanguera" in Teatro Nacional where
she had begun her stage career 50 years ago. On January 29, Tanguera opens
in Teatro Alcala in Madrid for a three-month run. This is an opportunity to
see this great lady of tango on stage.

Dear listeros,

There was an announcement recently about Maria Nieves
on the List. I can't find it at the moment. Could
someone please send me a copy or simply tell me the
details contained in it, privately?

Thanks. Luda

After Maria Nieves said a few words, she danced an improvised milonga with
Oscar Martinez Pey. The entire cast came out on stage. For the finale,
Maria danced with Carlos Rivarola, Mingo Pugliese, Sergio Cortazzo, Pupy
Castello, Daniel Garcia, and Carlos Gavito to La Cumparsita. It was a Sony
moment!

Carlos Rivarola, president of the two-year old AMBCTA, announced they will
be presenting a show every three months.

The program noted:
Este es el primero de una serie de homenajes que la Asociacion se propone
brindar a sus mas reconocidas figuras, en esta ocasion se trata de una de
sus Socias Fundadoras, es una de las mas queridas y admiradas, hizo que la
mujer tenga un rol diferente dentro del tango, es la mas grande... es Maria
Nieves.

I don't believe in [tango] schools. The milonga is the best teacher.
