WHAT A DISGRACE!
Not too long ago, I wrote a note referring to the beauty of learning to dance tango and I realize that many people do not understand how to take care of what truly has value, since with a music like electronic tango, which is totally foreign to the tango, they are destroying something that is so much ours.
I ask the entire tango community, but above all the young dancers, the musicians and the milonga organizers, to take some time to seriously reflect on what tango means and that they realize what it is, that it is because of lack of imagination or for business that they add new things to the tango. They are treating an entire culture disrespectfully. It is a shame that it has come to the point of hurting so many people. Use this music for something else and don't dare to call it tango when it isn't.

I say farewell in hopes that you understand what I said.
See you soon.
