Ok, being polite, on scene there were some of the most notable instruments used in tango, such the piano and the accordion.
A curious event, I was expecting that this was going to be a show where the tango dance was the main point but it turned to be actually more (as the title suggests) an on-live tale about the story of tango. Also, the orchestra itself was more important than the couple dancing.
The order of the event was more like this: a man (sitting in left side) telling a brief story about the origins of tango and its expansion across Latin America, becoming widely popular in its point of origin, Argentina. He was explaining it in latvian but fortunately I´m starting to understand things, specially when using familiar terms. Yes, the group was latvian, no argentinians here.
Basically the concert went throught like this: melody, storytelling, melody, storytelling, and so on. Not necessarily in the song there was the couple dancing, as I said, there was more importance in the orchestra rather than in the dancing style as shown in the last photos where the dancers are missing.
Little curious girl was not included in the event.
In this last photo we see something typical here: some members of the centre (or no-members) giving roses and flowers to the event´s crew as a sign of gratitude.
It was fine. Curious that it was only one hour when the events usually are two hours long. No needed to be fancy but people came like that anyway. I was expecting more focusing in the dance, but still the music was fine. Still, song and dance, the favourite things of Vidzeme.
