Maybe I've been listening to too much tango for far too long. But lately, I find myself quietly singing along to parts of my favourite tangos that have gradually embedded themselves in my brain. (Too bad, if you happen to be close by!)
Dancing to a tango, vals or milonga, when you know the story, adds an interesting dimension to the dance experience. Hence, the addition to our weblinks of two more tango websites with very good translations of many lyrics. So if you want another perspective to your tango experience, you couldn't go wrong with indulging in a spot of poetry reading while listening to the music.
