Milongas Cozarinsky Edgardo

With an introduction by award-winning author Alberto Manguel, Milongas is Edgardo Cozarinsky's love letter to tango, and the diverse array of people who give it life.From its origins in the gritty bars of Buenos Aires, in his playful conspiratory tone Cozarinsky moves us through the rich and varied culture of tango, circling the globe to hidden milongas tucked away in the crypt of a London Church, a caf in Krakow, the quays of the Seine, to the Red Square of Moscow. As erudite as he is candid and informal, Cozarinsky shares the culture of this timeless dance with us through At neighborhood dance halls vibrant and alive in the early hours of the morning, where young and old, foreign and native, novice and master come together in a tradition that traverses borders, demographics, and social mores, it is impossible to distinguish the dance from the dancer.
