This is an introduction to the "tango negro"..

& read the article @ the embedded link, here is an interview with the Facundo Posadas mentioned in the article.


At the end of the interview he dances with Monica Paz to "Cafe Dominguez".

Facundo was one of the sources for the research that went into Robert Farris Thompson's "Tango: The Art History of Love", part of which tells of the factors that led to the decimation of Argentina's African descendents.
