Yesterday afternoon I saw the argentinian tango musical Tanguera at the New York City Center. Eventhough the musical featuered an amazing singer and the two lead dancers were beautiful together, me and my friend Tasleem were both quite critical afterwards. We thought the love story was weak and unoriginal and the whole musical too showy and commercialized - not quite true to the original tango spirit somehow. Also, I think they should have mixed it up more between dancing and acting, and between different styles of tango dancing.
I filled up my stomach with baby back ribs at Shake Shack by Madison Square garden after having picked up "The How of Happiness" at Borders.
I had another great bongo class with maestro drummer George Delgado of Spanish Harlem Orchestra fame. He taught me some new nice Martillo variations and a cool bell pattern. Afterwards I checked out the Julia de Burgos Cultural Center on Lexington avenue in Spanish Harlem. It was quite a cozy place with live salsa music, a lot of older latin american people who were dancing and having a good time. It was sort of a bit like the Buena Vista Social Club. Nice.
