Our message from La T today is that not matter how you chose to transit this tough time, inside or outside, DO NOT LOSE YOUR HOPE , because WE WILL BE DANCING TANGO AGAIN SOON. At the end what counts is one fact: we all share the same love for tango.
My eternal gratitude from the deepest of my heart to all you for your understanding and support.
We hope to start very soon next year with renewed energies and inspiration. Stay tuned !
Until then stay safe, keep moving and training.

commemorating the birthday of the tango singer Carlos Gardel, and the musician and composer Julio de Caro.
HAPPY TANGO´S DAY TO ALL WHO LOVE TANGO !

Words of the artist:
"This mixed technique, 50 x 70 cm. combines gouache, watercolor, colour pencils. It was created in 1997 intending to represent the atmosphere of a real milonga in a satiric way.
It´s a hommage to two of my first tango teachers Roberto Contreras and Maria Lemos, who appear in the scene.
It´s also a hommage to Carlos Gardel, a singer that brought me to tango with the nostalgy in his voice.
It´s a hommage to the thousands of musician whose music I have danced to.
And finally it´s a hommage to all tango dancers, specially those old "milongueros" that inspired all new generations of dancers, and who were so generous sharing their knowledge to everybody. Thanks to them Tango has survived many storms, and will survive current storm as well.
HAPPY TANGO DAY TO ALL WHO LOVE TANGO!"
THANKS to all you, tango friends, because of your continuous support to La T in any way, with your presence, your encouraging words, your donations, your messages and inspiring feedback.
In Memoriam Juan Jose Passo
With deep sorrow we say goodbye to an extraordinary person who meant a lot to Tango in Sweden, and Malmö: Juan Jose Passo, singer and tango diffuser and organizer.
Juan Jose, with extreme passion from Tango, deep convictions and extreme sense of solidarity, left with his family his homeland Argentina and brought Tango to Sweden.
One of the first highlight of his enormous work spreading tango was the creation of La Casa del Tango in Malmö in 1994, a cultural venue that opened the doors to all artist, tango or non tango performers, a small piece of his beloved Buenos Aires in Sweden, and a link between two cultures so different but sharing so much at the same time . There people got to know the Tango culture, and the essence of Buenos Aires, its traditions, its poets, musicians, and its tastes.
Because of his continuous work spreading tango abroad, he was designed Corresponding Academic ( Académico correspondiente) by Academia Nacional del Tango de Argentina.
Juan Jose was also the main core, promotor and singer of orchestra Tangarte, directed by his son the musician Juanjo Passo, guitar and bandoneon player.
The orchestra following the ideal of its mentor Juan Jose, always convocated many top level tango artists,, guesting the performances and tours.
Orquesta Tangarte became the most representative tango orchestra in Sweden, based in Malmö, integrated by a multicultural bunch of nationalities, traveling to perform in many countries in Europe and South American.
After more than 20 years trajectory the orchestra continues that original intention of Juan Jose, spreading tango both in concerts and for dancing public all over the world.
Juan Jose family opened this Minnessida (memory site) to his memory where to leave a thought or comforting words to those who were close to him.
