Tango is a big scene for tourists, but an even bigger scene for locals. there must be 15,000 active tango dancers in Buenos Aires. And yes, there is very nostalgic feeling in all Buenos Aires— the tango music is sad.. along with the rain I realized why they call it the Paris of South America.

I was in Istanbul, Turkey a couple of weeks back for the opening of an exhibit of my work. & the gallery owner took us out after the opening to, guess where… a tango club! In Istanbul? I was stunned! Most of the dancers were not very good of course, but there were some more experienced couple who entertained us all.
I love the colours in this piece, by the way, and also the one of the blue tiles in Havana. You have captured the special quality of light and warmth of colours in Hispanic places. I feel transported.
