Tango

Tango is a partner dance that originated in the 1880s along the River Plate, the natural border between Argentina and Uruguay, and soon spread to the rest of the world.

Early tango was known as tango criollo (Creole tango). Today, there are many forms of tango extant. Popularly and among tango dancing circles, the authentic tango is considered to be the one closest to the form originally danced in Argentina and Uruguay.

On August 31, 2009, UNESCO approved a joint proposal by Argentina and Uruguay to include the tango in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists.

History

Tango is a dance that has influences from European and African culture. Dances from the candombe ceremonies of former slave peoples helped shape the modern day Tango. The dance originated in lower-class districts of Buenos Aires and Montevideo. The music derived from the fusion of various forms of music from Europe. The word "tango" seems to have first been used in connection with the dance in the 1880s, possibly related to the Latin word "tangere" but more likely related to the African slave word "tango" (drum or dance place).

Film festival

A film festival is an organized, extended presentation of films in one or more cinemas or screening venues, usually in a single city or region. Increasingly, film festivals show some films outdoors. Films may be of recent date and, depending upon the festival's focus, can include international and domestic releases. Some festivals focus on a specific film-maker or genre (e.g., film noir) or subject matter (e.g., horror film festivals). A number of film festivals specialise in short films of a defined maximum length. Film festivals are typically annual events. Some film historians do not consider Film Festivals as official releases of film, like Jerry Beck. The best known film festivals are the Venice Film Festival, the Cannes Film Festival, the Toronto Film Festival, Sundance Film Festival, and the Berlin International Film Festival, the latter being the largest film festival worldwide, based on attendance. The Venice Film Festival is the oldest major festival. The Melbourne International Film Festival is the largest film festival in the Southern Hemisphere and one of the oldest in the world. A 2013 study found 3,000 active films festivals worldwide—active defined as having held an event in the previous 24 months.

Milonga

Vamos falar de solidão
Na sua casa nunca mais entrei
Mas decorei com exatidão
Todas as coisas como eu deixei
Versos jogados pelo chão
Lembranças do que não presenciei
Mas decorei com exatidão
Como o passado que eu mesmo criei
E tudo que eu posso oferecer
São minhas palavras pra você
No plágio de uma bela melodia
E tudo que eu quero te dizer
Eu já cansei de escrever
Quero te ver enquanto não é dia
Mas diz porque tu vais embora
Mas diz porque tens tanto medo
Se não acorda cedo
Nem trabalha, estuda ou namora
Mas diz porque chegou a hora
Agora que eu venci meu medo
Te peguei pelos dedos
Pra dançar enquanto o sol demora
Para chegar trazendo aurora
E a luz que cega e me dá medo
E como um torpedo
Eu deslizo, eu vôo num mar de lençois
E cada dobra conta histórias
De muitas delas sinto medo
São muitos enrredos
Enrolados e embriagados como nós
Tão a sós, como nós, tão a sós
Porque você insiste em dizer que ainda existe vida sem você?
(Quando você não esperar vai doer e eu sei como vai doer e vai passar como passou por mim e fazer com que se sinta assim, como eu sinto)
Porque você insiste em dizer que ainda existe vida sem você?
(Como eu vejo como eu vivo como eu não canso de tentar eu sei que vai ouvir, eu sei que vai lembrar, vai rezar pra esquecer, vai pedir pra esquecer, mas eu não vou deixar, eu não vou deixar)
(Porque você insiste em dizer que ainda existe vida sem você?)
E eu não quero lembrar do que eu fui pra você
Uma simples distração pra você esquecer
Eu não quero lembrar que chegamos ao nosso fim
(Porque você insiste em dizer que ainda existe vida sem você?)
Eu não quero lembrar que eu vou acordar
Sabendo que meus olhos não vão te encontrar
Eu não quero lembrar que tudo acabou pra mim
Vou te esquecer, vou te esquecer
Vou te esquecer, vou te esquecer
