Tango Encounter

July 21 through the 24 are the dates for "Encuentro de Tango Montevideo". The two groups that I went to see last year (Los Cigarros and Cuarteto Ricacosa) will not appear but that does not diminish my hopes. I know, it's true that BA takes the cake for the big tango stage, talent is spread equally on both sides of the Rio de la Plata. It is said that the two cities are really one, separated by a big river. The writer Onetti even created a fictional city that was 75% Montevideo and 25% Bs. As. because he found it inspiring. He called the city Santa Maria.
