Javier and Graciela - Tango in the

soul

by RafaelTheSecond , 1 more photos

It is a religion....if you really see deeply the eyes and the real feeling of Tango by the faces of these great dancers, Graciela and Javier, you will feel that Tango is not only part of the argentinean culture...it is part of their intimacy, it comes from the soul, it comes from everything sacred they consider...

Tango is felt in the blood and the tango makes people from all age to experience it, and to live TANGO.

I am proud to introduce you this lovely couple which shows to the world the impressing SENSUAL DANCE!

The dancers Javier and Graciela

with Steve and I -

Steve is my big big big big big american friend, he is from Lousiana. He decided to see the charming side of South America, then he came to Buenos Aires, and I came here specially to welcome him, and I am showing to him the best I know from this city I love...It is his second day in Argentina, and he is already a genuine PORTEÑO hahahaha :)

Of course I took him to La Boca where we can find the Caminito...this is the place where Tango is the huge influence since 1850...It is a harbour place full of colors.

And we stopped at Los Gitanos, and we found these incredible TANGO DANCERS...Javier and Graciela..Now my friends and one of my cool contacts in Buenos Aires!

Tango is part of the local life and meeting these wonderful couple you will know why!

Good Day Leadies and Gentlemen

Well, a little bit less than Paris, but DOGS are religion in this city...Even in their most famous graveyard, the RECOLETA, where EVA PERON is buried, there is a tomb for a dog which died with his owner, a woman called LILIANA...

You should know that Buenos Aires holds the second largest population of dogs in the World. And for sure I could not resist and took some pictures of a very special dog in the train station of TIGRE - one of my favourite places in the city!

I am sure you will like it

Cats also rulez in Buenos Aires by

RTL

Street cats in Buenos Aires have something special, they are very hairy, and me as a cat lover, would never be out of Buenos Aires without taking some nice pictures of them...Well that bloke I found in a window of a very interesting spot in Buenos Aires, the street Caminito, one of the famous spots of the Tango life in Argentina.

Caminito is also a tango's theme...CAMINITO QUE EL TIEMPO HA BORRADO....QUE JUNTOS UN DIA NOS VISTE PASAR...and there it goes....

This cat is very simular to my cat Ferrugem!:))))

Mi Buenos Aires querido - BY MR

Well, there's been almost 11 years that I go to Argentina, so of course I have many friends in the country, and Buenos Aires is where I definitevely stop...And in Rome I do like the romans, it cannot be so different here, so I always go back to old custons, when I visited yesterday the house of Mariano's parents in the great province of Martinez, no far from the capital, this is where I am confortable, and this is where I relax with a hot MATE AMARGO n my hands. It is a very common costun among the argentineans, uruguayans and southern brazilians. Well I am part of tthe club as you easily can see. Right behind me, my great "cousin" and friend Gustavo, checking his internet.

Buenos Aires Personal experiencies with Argentinians

One crazy argentinean and one crazy

brazilian by L

My local custon tips are lighter...nothing to do with the protests we saw almost every week at Mayo Square, I just want to show you how normal and very family based life is in Argentina. In this country I have also my family, they are very close friends of mine, and this is my crazy and best friend in Argentina, we know each other for more than 10 years I guess, I think it is almost 11 years, and he is my great great brother!

We took this picture in my second weekend in Buenos Aires, it is in the suburbs of the city, in a very pleasant place in the Province called Martinez!
