Maybe Chicho's recent interview in Tangauta (in which he practically disowns his followers) will have an impact. (issue 182). A quote: "Yes, but those milongueros had respect, delicacy and sensibility, it was totally different. I know my role is contradictory, because I also collaborated in generating this young movement. In its moment I got tired of the strict milonguero codes that didn’t correspond with my time and to rebel I tried to make my way. Today I’m a milonguero again (laughter); I’m against the people who do not cabecear (nod), who don’t have codes or respect. The value of tango has been diluted. That is why I say that many dancers are lost, they barely hold on to each other to dance and for two hours like zombies, it is very sad." And I just heard that Gustavo Naveira is offering a workshop in "estilo milonguero" somewhere. Maybe the times they are a-changing.
