The Festival
The 10th Buenos Aires Tango Festival (to be held from August 15th to 23rd, 2008)
Far from expressing a random linking of isolated events, the growth of tango in Buenos Aires is the result of a complex mesh of artistic, cultural and political junctions. The invigorating passion of musicians, poets, dancers, teachers, producers, collectors, researchers, institutions and aficionados, was progressively combined with the action of the State, a key articulator of the Buenos Aires cultural potential. In 2008, the Festival will aim at artistic excellence, style diversity and a deployment across the entire city. In that sense, the basic principles of the festival will be: the vindication and appreciation of the historical heritage of tango, the promotion of emerging creators, the development of interdisciplinary spaces and the endorsement of cultural tango undertakings.
In line with these objectives, the Festival’s artistic program will foster a series of actions aimed to oil the natural joints between the past, present and future of tango: composers and authors will be entrusted with a series of works to be premiered at the festival. Also, old songs as well as orchestral styles from different periods will be recaptured, transcribed, analyzed, traveling beyond time frontiers. Both projects will result in a series of releases that will become appendixes to the Festival, taking place independent of set dates.
Fifteen compositions for orchestra will be entrusted to the likes of Sonia Posetti, Luis Borda, Nicolás Ledesma, Pablo Mainetti, Andrès Linetzky and Nicolás Guerschberg, among others, under the slogan “Buenos Aires XXI”. These works will be premiered by the Festival’s orchestra and recorded into a new CD. Also, endorsing the work of contemporary lyricists, a special concert will be organized featuring 12 new tangos, especially entrusted to some of the most distinguished writers. This material will also be recorded and released. And in a joint effort with the Children and Youth Orchestras from the ZAP Program (Priority Action Areas, coordinated by the Ministry of Education), and also especially for this occasion, renowned composers will be writing a series of pieces to be premiered at the Festival.
The initiative to capture the historical heritage of tango for posterity will be one of the main bets. A “micro”-website accessible through www.tangodata.gov.ar, will keep a record of orchestral music scores for musicians, researchers and tango lovers to work on. Firstly, the work of Aníbal Troilo’s orchestra in 1938 will be transcribed, on the occasion of the 70 years now passed since the release of their debut LP. A special concert will bring back the sound of that time, celebrating this artistic comeback. A tribute will be paid to Astor Piazzolla in a recital recreating his mythical orchestra of ’46 and his string-bandoneon-piano orchestra from ’56. Also “Homenaje a Sebastián Piana” will be released live, performed by “La Orquesta Típica Candombe”. And in a joint effort with the Municipality of Montevideo, a concert will be performed in honor of Uruguayan singer/songwriter Alberto Mastra, featuring some of his little-known pieces.
Tango can be understood and studied in its multiple forms: as a teaching handbook on Buenos Aires history, as a simple compendium of urban sociology, or as an enriching tourist-oriented map. What no-one denies is that tango is not an isolated expression of this city’s cultural mesh. The interdisciplinary crossovers prove the numberless capabilities of tango for artistic merging. The staging of a “sainete” (produced especially, starring actors Rodrigo de la Serna and Oski Guzmán), or the premiere of a comic-animation-illustration exhibit with a tango theme will prove tango’s tendency to bond. In line with that spirit, the festival will also give room to the myriad crossovers of tango with other music and dance expressions of either popular or academic origins.
The cosmopolitan character of tango and the undeniable urban personality of Buenos Aires invite to undertake cultural initiatives to empower the presence of this music in the world. Hence, the idea to transform the Festival into a real international showcase of local artists and producers. This year, we will invite producers and organizers of tango, jazz and world music festivals from around the world to participate in a Business Fair. We will in turn boost the signing of agreements with similar entities from other capitals of the world.
The Metropolitan
From May 29th, 2008 and for approximately one month, the city will stage another Buenos Aires classic: The 6th Tango Dance Metropolitan Championship (May 29th to July 6th, 2008) . On its 6th year, this competition will double the artistic talent and recreational spirit. Once again, the chance to “play at home”, to be the home team, in the same milongas that shelter tango dreams all year long. Thanks to that sense of intimacy and belonging, the competition far exceeds its formal character (the qualifying salon & stages for a higher tournament: the World Championship) to gain a sort of proud autonomy. The Metropolitan winning couples can gain the privilege of projecting their title beyond the borders of Buenos Aires.

Date: Sat, 24 May 2008 From: "Janis Kenyon" <Jantango@feedback.net.ar> Subject: Milonga admissions in Buenos Aires
Each year prior to the Campeonato Metropolitano de Baile de Tango, the city publishes the program for a month of qualifying rounds in the milongas which includes the cost of regular admission for each milonga. Entradas aren't included in magazine advertising, so this is annual review time of entradas. Only the milongas participating in the qualifying rounds are considered in this evaluation.
In 2005, the entradas ranged from 2-8 pesos, with only one milonga charging 10 pesos. In 2006, the entradas ranged from 3-10 pesos with only one milonga charging 12 pesos (the same one that charged 10 pesos in 2005). In 2007, the entradas ranged from 5-10 pesos with only one milonga out of 40 charging 12 pesos. This year the entradas range from 8-15 pesos with one milonga charging 20 pesos (Tango Ideal).
One milonga organizer recently asked me why I don't attend her milonga regularly. I explained that the entrada, taxis, drinks, and tips makes it economically impossible for me. I go regularly to a place I can walk to, where the entrada is affordable, and I know there will be good dancers.
Many locals are unaware that 20 pesos is being charged by some organizers. They gasp when I tell them and respond it's crazy. Is it any wonder that some places have more foreigners than locals?
