I danced my first tango in my new shoes on my last night at Maldita Milonga in the dimly lit Buenos Ayres Club on Peru street. Earlier that day, I had seen El Afronte playing at the San Telmo Market and when I bought their CD, they had given me a ticket to one of their milongas. I often listened to that CD after I got back home and it always reminded me of my (re)-start into tango. A teacher I took classes with in Buenos Aires once described their modern interpretation of the classics as “tango heavy metal”. Almost three years, two pairs of tango shoes and many hours of dancing later, I was back where it all began for a week of dancing tango in Buenos Aires.
