The Dancing Flower does Joe Powers (milonga)

Since some people were shouting "Milonga! Milonga!" at the Flower's very first appearance, here it is. I also have the Edgardo Donato version of this piece, but the Flower prefers the sunny-but-chilled sound and tempo of Joe Powers.



Used with kind permission of Joe. You can get the album Amor de Tango, and others, at http://www.joepowers.com. Go on, support live music.

The setting-sun spotlight is a little contrasty, I know, but it was too good not to use. The backing group I leave to the mercy of your comments.

    I like the lighting - reminds me of Negracha

    It's amazing the intricacy and range of movement. And of course the flower's trademark dramamtic pauses :o)

    I wonder if performing tango in shades will be the next In Thing?

    The shades - I've seen it done once.

  3. I am still in awe of the flower's tango style. Piezoelectric is a good name for it, jeje.

    I like your lighting effects,tango was after all a passtime for people of the night.

  4. There was a guy at the Tango Extravaganza dancing in shades - he was dancing with The Lady With The Hat....
