6º Mundial de Baile de Tango
August 25, 2008

The opening of the 6º Mundial de Baile de Tango (Sixth Tango Dance World Cup) in Buenos Aires was yesterday. The celebration took place at Harrods (Florida, 877), that was crowded of Tango lovers, people of all ages squeezing themselves around the area in front of the stage, in search of a better view where the show of Mora Godoy would happen. 

The Tango Dance World Cup activities will happen from August 25 to 30: dance contest with more than 400 couples from different countries, free lessons of Tango for all the ages, seminars, interviews, fairs products, etc. 

The Salon Tango Final will happen at Obras Stadium (Av. del Libertador, 7395) on August 30 at 8pm, where Atilio Stampone, Adriana Varela, Raúl Lavié and Gloria and Eduardo will dance. Also on this day a closing show will be coordinated by choreographers Alejandra Armenti and Daniel Juaréz. The Stage Tango Final will take place at Luna Park Stadium (Bouchard, 465) on September 1st at 7pm, when Mariano Mores and Miguel Ángel Zotto with Daiana Gúspero will perform, as well the dancers from IUNA Institute and choreographer Leonardo Cuello.

Yesterday’s opening show was very beautiful, although I could not see much thing. We arrived at the place one hour before, but we could not find a good place to see the stage. Hundreds of people were standing in our front, and we had to raise the cameras over the heads to photograph and to record. I only could watch the Tango show by the recording of my camera. It was a shame, many people who were there, old ladies and gentlemen  who went to the place, could not obtain a good vision of the show as well.

The Harrods building in Buenos Aires is huge and even has a Theater. But this opening presentation took place on a small area with chairs surrounded by big wooden columns, as a ”VIP” area surrounded by ropes. All the people who was not VIP had to stand outside this surrounded area to the side of the columns. When a “no transparent” camera man inside this closed area was not in your front, you had to look through the empty spaces between the heads or to watch the Tango by the ”live transmission” from the LCDs of the several video cameras of the spectators who had to struggle with their arms up to record this pretty moment.

If you wish to see the Stage Tango Final on September 1st (7pm at Luna Park), I would suggest you to arrive 5 hours before to prevent major hassles.

Malos Aires
April 19, 2008

 Street on Palermo neighbourhood

Today is the fourth day the city is under a smoke thick blanket occasioned by farmers that have set fire to their lands 50 km North. 

It is really a paradox a city called Buenos Aires (”good airs”) with all this air polution. It is very difficult to breathe on the streets and there are people using masks. Even if you stay closed in your home, the smoke somehow enters and contamines the air. I and my husband don’t smoke cigarettes, but our blankets are smelling as if we smoked several packages a day. 

Visiting some online local newspapers I found one comment about this situation that I appreciated. Someone said that now all the people who smoke can feel what we, who don’t smoke, feel when they lit theirs cigarettes.

I really hope that this situation cease soon, but it seems that it will continue for the next days. It is a shame when all the living being have to breathe such air, when we don’t have fault of this criminal act.

These two pictures illustrate a little the situation. They were taken today two hours ago.

Buenos Aires Landscapes
April 18, 2008

Yesterday I had the idea of writing a blog where I could show several beautiful photographs of Buenos Aires, capital of Argentina, that I’ve been taking for about 5 months since we moved to here. As a Brazilian designer with a great passion to photograph everything around, I think this peculiar city really deserves a place (or just another one) where it could show its beauties to the world.

After one day of (my husband’s) intense work, here is the blog!  :-)

Buenos Aires Landscapes will show some of my best photographs of the city, its exquisite architecture, design, gardens, people, as well some details only seen by flâneurs. I also plan to include some detailed information about each image to tell its history and make the blog more interesting. I know that this pleasant experience will make me learn a lot, so I’m very excited!

Welcome and hasta pronto!
