You will meet many of the stars and personalities that populate the world of tango as a brief glance at the Index will demonstrate, from international performers to local teachers and organizers.
I’m so glad I got your book “This is Tango”. At first I thought “Oh another tango book about history of tango and mysteries of tango”, and all that. But when I got home, I picked up the book and couldn’t put it down. My free time was dedicated to reading it over the next few days. It is like episodes of a Netflix hit series that can keep you from getting up and binge watch the whole series. I loved the stories of the unique and wonderful tango venues, people who manage them, musicians who play there, and their evolution over time. I even learned so much more about places I have known about and the interesting stories about them.
