July-August 2002: Eduardo & Gloria Arquimbau Available for workshops
This is a notice regarding the availability of Eduardo & Gloria for US & Canada workshops in the late Summer and possibly into the Fall. A master teaching couple that needs no introduction, Eduardo & Gloria learned Tango in the 1950s, performed extensively on Television and in tours with all the major orchestras of the 50s & 60s (except Di Sarli who died before the tour could begin). They took part in the original Tango Argentino and Forver Tango shows as well. Eduardo & Gloria also teach historical and social styles of tango, including the rhythmic "Club-Style" (aka "milonguero"), Canyengue, Tango-Milonga, etc. They can show a mean street version of tango that used to get the kids kicked out of the nicer clubs. Charming and gregarious, Eduardo & Gloria are masters of the BBQ grill and are full of stories about tango personalities and history. Their "Charlas" (Chats) are an ever-popular feature of their visits. There is also the possibility of hosting them together with a tango orchestra from Argentina. I would suggest seeking arts funding or cultural grants if you are interested in this. There have been a couple of requests for 2-4 week workshops, thus it is important to get your request in soon for everything to work out. Please contact me if you have any interest in hosting Eduardo & Gloria. -- Tom Stermitz 2612 Clermont St Denver, CO 80207 home: 303-388-2560 cell: 303-725-5963
