Hello Trini, I did receive authorisation to pass on his email, IMHO. As someone who markets themselves as an international professional tango teacher, he did in a very straight forward manner state where I was "wrong". I am sure he would have liked to reply on Tango L but AFAIK he is not a member having left in disgust a few years ago. I make no comments about his form of reply, as I do not understand it myself.
I think you are confusing the ad with the making of the ad video. To me there is no connection between the dancers and between them and music in the ad. They seem to have choreographed a piece and then inserted the music as far as I could see. They could have been just as well been tangoing to a polka in the end!! I thought this forum is about the lovers of real Argentine tango and therefore the vast majority of readers here would like to know what has happened to their passion in the real world? The people who I said were liking/not liking the ad I was referring to the comments under the Youtube posting, not to who like/disliked the ad here on Tango L. It is merely my guess that in the main they are not written by Argentine tango dancers. Personally, I was and still am affronted that tango has to be wrapped up in rap music to make it palatable to the masses and I dread that we will now start to hear rap pieces being played at mainstream milongas. If that happens, I think I will leaving the dance floor if not the milonga. Vince In Melbourne (Sleepy, after the several unlisted phone calls in a row overnight.
