Tango
-----------
"I think that at the heart of the tango is the music. It's like an
undiscovered continent. It's rich and devouring because it's so
passionate. But at the same time, it's meditative and
contemplative. It can be calm or rhythmically driving. And
it has a lyrical intensity. Tango is unique in world music
because, although it is popular, it has the depth and profundity usually
associated with classical music. When you dance tango, you are
constantly in the embrace both of an extraordinary musical culture and
of another human being. Because of the physical closeness of the
dance, it is possible to explore intimacy in a metaphorical way while
pushing your own inventiveness and creativity to their limits."
