400 THOUSAND PEOPLE IN TWO UNFORGETTABLE WEEKS
The outcome of Buenos Aires Tango Festival and Dance World Cup 2011 is certainly positive: in total, 400 thousand people attended the shows and activities held at the Centro de Exposiciones, CCC Teatro 25 de Mayo in Villa Urquiza and Teatro de la Ribera in La Boca. “I’m very satisfied because Tango Buenos Aires is growing year after year: comparing number of visitors, number of registered couples for the Dance World Cup; and also shows to be more in tune with today’s tango: for instance, this year, the Panorama section – with the participation of the most influential cultural entrepreneurs and young artists of the current scene – brought to a massive stage the new languages of our music, adding a breath of fresh air to the scene and mixing together new audiences. So that encounter of generations that we look for has occurred, between up-and-coming and established artists. They are the two general objectives that we set for ourselves. Heritage recovery and tango’s expansion into the future. Such is the spirit of the festival, and in this edition it was clearly manifested,” stated with obvious satisfaction Gustavo Mozzi, the artistic director of the world’s greatest tango event.
ARGENTINE VICTORY IN STAGE TANGO
Three Argentine couples stepped onto the podium of the Stage Tango category, after the great final held last night at the Luna Park Stadium, which was vibrant and full to the brim once again, like on the biggest nights of its rich history. The couple of Max Van De Voorde and Solange Acosta won the world title, the prize of 30 thousand pesos and a contract to go on a tour around Japan (in addition to having the privilege of dancing in front of the Tour Eiffel, in Paris, next Sunday 4).
