12 Days of Christmas/ 8 days of Tango…

Christmas is around the corner, but today is ‘Tango Day’, when since 1977 Argentina has celebrated tango. Taking the birthday of one of the most influential musicians and composers, Julio de Caro. Tango today is global, and with ‘national’ becoming ‘world’ lots of us are smiling and hugging a bit more today.
Lots of us know about the twelve days of Christmas, but I thought it would be nice to have the ’8 days of Tango’ here on the blog. So I will be posting tandas, videos, quotes amongst other things a little more than usual. Today we start with Julio de Caro, who else?
Enjoy!
¡Feliz día del Tango!

‘Abuelas’, the BAFTA nominated short animation that featured a tango dancer not typing too far away from you right now is being shown at the Screentest festival in London this Sunday. Book tickets here.
Rooting for Abuelas at the BAFTAs this Sunday.
If you haven’t seen the trailer for “Abuelas” the short animated film I did in 2010, here it is. Its been doing the rounds impressing judges at many film festivals and has been nominated for a BAFTA at this year’s awards. Very excited and happy to have been part of this. Afarin (the director) I will be rooting for you on Sunday night!
A living legend…
