Igor is a writer for Vogue Magazine and works in the art scene here in Houston. It is 70 to 80 degrees and sunny all this week in Houston, so make sure to pack your bathing suits with your tango shoes. ************ FLASH!!! TODAY !! FREE NOON TANGO CONCERT DOWNTOWN FOR LUNCH HOUR with impromptu dancing. Free brownbag tango orchestra concert at noon today Wed March 1st in the grand foyer of the Wortham Center, where the Houston Ballet and the Houston Grand Opera are based. Note: Houston has now has more cultural arts performance than any other city in the United States, except for New York City, so contrary to popular belief, Houston is a now a major center for artists. This is true for museums as well. We are also cowboys and cowgirls, just like the Argentines...lol. George Bush senior is from up East, not Texas, so leave that alone please. NOON CONCERT: Edward Grigassy and Rodrigo Gamboa play and sing beautiful soulful and wonderful Argentine tangos and they are great friends of mine, Valdamir is the same violinist who plays with the Gypsy Tango Orchestra. The tangos will be fantastic and we can probably even get to dance impromptu a little bit. I did that last time they played downtown at noon, with Edward's girlfriend, who works for a radio station and we had a blast. Edward and Rodrigo love to see people dance. Edward Grigassy writes: Tango Carnaval will be performing for the next Dacamera's "A Little Day Music" concert series.
