Eyes are deep not see the first road, end of the road is the end of the world. Plateau, glaciers, islands, lighthouses … … for the love scenes were witnessed ever; also wanted to take the hearts of all those released.

As both sides of a coin, city pants, drunk and wilderness outpouring of thoughtful, in Argentina rolled. No wonder “the enigmatic eyes,” the director, use a full 127 minutes, to describe the years of its paragraphs.

Buenos Aires Wonderland

Buenos Aires Wonderland

Buenos Aires Wonderland”In common things that people like the dawn of awkward, plain and charming stars, in addition to outside Buenos Aires, I almost did not see anything” – old age, sailing over the sea the earth’s powers Borges returned to his hometown, was surprised to find that it is everything.

Touching as it is. Tango dance in, is that you come to my intelligence to the influx of undercurrents. Gorgeous theater, is Evita’s grief rain.

Rough as it is. Large people eat meat every night, big mouth and drink in the lively Latin rhythms, and laugh loudly. Meat is the most Feinen pampas small beef, wine is fragrant Ganlie New World grape juice.

Evening street dance

It is said that Buenos Aires can not be done the evening of the night to tango. Yes, only in Argentina, so we can tango. Tango in Argentina is a verb, describe the beating heart out of this country, and its origin Boca area, how can it miss?

Color remains the same, the noise remains. It is imbued with a rich, Mediterranean-style blocks, and the book is a hundred years ago, there is not much different scene. Colorful ocean iron or wooden structures of the housing is still filled with different amount Caminito Street, circus clowns, street tango dancers, to sell works of art and the street vendors selling cups everywhere mate, windowsill popped one by one and play guitar from time to time, or took the violin, or playing the accordion in the folk artists of the statue. Stone in the road slippery, street murals, reliefs and sculptures seem intersection clearly recorded that year in the busy port of ups and downs of the story and the tango, and even the bar, restaurant signs, sale of goods is also a trademark entangled with swaying tango. There is no doubt that here everything related with the Tango.

Buenos Aires was brightly shining in the night far more charming sunny afternoon. Twilight of the Caminito street, sultry tango music slowly began to sound a bit sad, still a little melancholy. Following the sound, the street corner, a pair of tall young men and women are dancing. Wearing a black hat, handsome man dressed in a black dress right hand round the waist slender graceful woman, her eyes looking straight ahead and began gliding, the pace steady. The woman in the music flows like a supporting role as the man meekly rotation, the two sometimes forward, sometimes backward, sometimes left, sometimes right to slide the legs, cross arms and dance, the unsteadiness. He steps elegance, elegant, free and easy; while she dances reserved, elegant, graceful. Tango in front of gorgeous deep, who can think of, the original tango full of flesh and desire stirring, was a “nasty things”?

Starting from the bad reputation

“Traditional tango are the night”, really, really do not tango at the beginning of the birth of a good reputation. Boca mid-19th century pier increasingly busy, so, a large number of seamen and immigrants began to gather in the port size of the inn and the suburbs. Long-term drift of the lonely sea and the displacement of the depression, making them all kinds of bars and brothels Port regulars. Over time, a manifestation of Parting, lonely, sad, depressed, anxious, and other emotions and mixed with modern love, lost love of pain, pride revenge plot to rival the dance form began to gradually lower prevalence population, this is the first Tango. Some people say it is part of the dance between men. In the dirty crowded tavern, surrounding people are amazed, stir cheers, because the two men beat with morochaca in dance nimbly danced. Women carried out their rivalry in the contest, I do not know how later on developed a full power and beauty, yet with a sexually suggestive dance. Others say, “a brothers, coupled with his mistress, a bar in the old town, or blocks, perform a painful story of sorrow,” the four basic elements of tango is like. No matter what, the first tango with the dark tavern and provocative dance are inseparable.

Equal power in 1912 by Argentina, so tango into a social level. Buenos Aires high society at the time, springing up all kinds of tango salon opened, this trend will soon spread from South America to New York, London and Paris, tango began to crazy popular around the world. Luxury in the 1920s, a right hand holding a burning cigarette is always called 卡洛斯加戴尔 (CarlosGardel) man, with a hoarse voice vicissitudes and opened the era of tango songs, he sang opera style into Argentina music, the tango fully brought out the dark smoke-filled tavern. After Tango soon became the most fashionable European upper communication dance. In 1946, driven in Evita, ushered in another golden age of tango, and into a unique culture.

Warm touches of elegance of tango music, like the city of Buenos Aires temperament, there would also take in South America, Europe, subtle passion.

Never show the same

In Buenos Aires, people who “wear” the Tango, at the foot of “riding” the tango. Argentine Government to promote national culture, decree, against the neglect of tango, and even that radio and television stations must broadcast a certain time to tango. Buenos Aires streets indoor concert hall or theater, old and famous restaurants, or new style bar, separated from a tango. But, in the theater tango was given more to the story, bear more responsibility. “Safeguarding national sovereignty, Specials playing Tango” – Theater in front of the city of Buenos Aires, there had been such a poster.

While many of the city’s tango dance theater, it is hard to find two identical performances. Because in the Argentine view, the tango is like love at first sight of men and women, or of unfailing love, or voluntarily become involved with the war, men and women among the dancers look strong and physical contact is the soul of Tango. Depression, anxiety, despair, happy, noisy or quiet, everything only through the body to communicate. “Every musical poems, each a chapter, a tango of every unique moment, one can not in accordance with a consistent model to jump the same song.”

I do not believe the myth, was determined to get a theater, a bubble in there all day exploring what the tango. After several small farce, light suddenly dimmed, the theater suddenly become very quiet. The band was hanging in the air accompaniment, incredible! Music slowly began to sound, sometimes dark, sometimes sad, sometimes melancholy; kick, spin, bow, dance and sometimes ease the elegant, sometimes as fast as a meteor; suddenly, and both stopped, as reserved as inquire Sliding slowly after the female dancer, male dancers spin around hovering at his side … … all is full of love and the occasional love from the lingering result of blending. After the group dance tango dancers took turns performing, sometimes passionate provocative, sometimes humorous exaggeration, sometimes sentimental melancholy, sometimes people Xinchan. Music, dance, singing and poetry combine together seamlessly, and I believed in the original, it is a sentimental love story, then the aesthetic yet so strong.

As Sabato said: “Tango with its invincible inner conquered the world, whether we prefer, we in Europe know this. As the representative of the Spanish bullfight as a synonym for the Argentine Tango.” “Estes es Tango “I know, this is the tango!

In Buenos Aires, tango is everywhere, but on the other tourism projects, enjoy the place where tango is also automatically and subtly into camp tour camp and the locals. Would like to enjoy the most authentic art must follow the local people, to the most little-known small Pub. Not enough for not Fun? Rather go into battle, his jump a bar!
