We have now finalised the daytime milonga and café programme. The festival café will be open between 2 and 6pm from Wednesday to Saturday. You can drop in anytime for refreshments, sit around and chat with friends for a while, drink and eat, and each day, there will also be an informal daytime milonga/practica, with different guest DJs.

We are also thrilled to have three excellent ensembles play in the café: two for dancing, and one for listening.

And as a special treat, we are delighted to have Alexandra Prusa visit us, introducing the showing of her film "Blue Tango in Buenos Aires", on the Saturday.

Blue Tango in Buenos Aires

A Film Diary by Alexandra Prusa

Tango makes the soul move, and that is what I miss when I am not dancing. And so I keep asking myself, what the essence of this persistent need is? Of this crave for transcendence through dance. Maybe it’s merely a kind of longing – just longing. / Alexandra Prusa

In June 2004 the digital art publishers ArtAdventures put out Alexandra Prusa’s new audio-visual work on DVD.

For twenty years the Zurich artist with cosmopolitan roots has engaged in all aspects of the Argentinian tango. With her film “Blue Tango in Buenos Aires” she is now taking stock as well as embarking on a new beginning in her passionate relationship with tango as a dance, as music, and with its native city Buenos Aires.

In her film journal, Alexandra Prusa seeks out the people and the town of Buenos Aires, as well as the places and questions relating to her lifelong theme, and she does so with the same curiosity and as receptively as the first time when she fell in love with the tango.

“Blue Tango in Buenos Aires” is a modern music and dance documentary about the world capital of tango, offering a great experience even to younger audiences who are not necessarily familiar with the theme.

Five songs, co-written and performed by Alexandra Prusa, with surprising sounds and visual clips, mark the chapters of her densely packed journal.

All electronic composing and musical accompaniment come from ReplicaNorma, an intriguing new Paris group.

Universal Music Switzerland will be putting the CD “Blue Tango” with the film music and other interpretations of Alexandra Prusa on the market soon after the DVD.

Tango 59 Degrees Stockholm City is now two and a half weeks away. So far, we have participants from 14 countries, which makes for an international atmosphere, fresh energy at the milongas, and is a great opportunity to widen your circle of tango friends.

Bookings

Lucia Mazer's and Ezequiel Farfaro's package classes (Package A and C) are fully booked - this new constellation has proven to be very popular indeed - but there are still a few places left on their workshops, so the sooner you sign up, the better.

We must also mention Ezequiel Paludi and Sabrina Masso, who visit Scandinavia for the first time. Next time they are here we can all expect the same kind of rush as with Lucia and Ezequiel, so why not be smart and discover them for yourself before everyone else? There are still a few places on their 8-couple intensive classes, as well on their 12-couple classes.

Followers will be glad to hear that there are two Italian gentlemen waiting for them on the workshop wV: "Vals Cruzado, basics". In other classes and workshops there is a slight excess of followers - so guys, you have a golden opportunity here to make yourselves popular. But don't wait too long.

If you have friends or relatives you want to introduce to tango, tell them to enroll for the Beginner's Classes of Tango 59 Degrees. Gunilla Rydén and Henrik Uldall will give a two-night course for beginners, and Cristina Ramírez and Tommy Persson will follow with another two-nighter in the following two evenings. They can be taken separately or together: a perfect introduction to the world of tango from Scandinavian top teachers.

Milongas

The Friday milonga at the Royal Opera's Rotunda Stage has had to be moved to another venue - it will now take place at Mondo on Medborgarplatsen, just like the one on Thursday. Therefore, Ezequiel Paludi and Sabrina Masso will perform on the Friday instead of, as previously announced, the Thursday. Cuarteto Típico SILENCIO will play on the Thursday.

Tango Café

There will be a Tango Café open daytime during the festival at Stallet. The café is meant to be the heart of the festival: you can drop in at anytime between 2pm and 6pm, sit around and chat with friends for a while, drink and eat something - and there will also be an informal daytime milonga/practica every day in the café, with different guest DJ:s.

Daytime Concerts

Most of the days there will also be a lunch concert in the Café. We are pleased to announce that Cuarteto Típico SILENCIO will play for us, as will other established ensembles. While the late-night milongas of course are totally geared towards maximum danceability, the lunch concerts will be a little bit more eclectic in nature and will range from classical to cross-genre tango, for your listening pleasure.

Lunches

For those of you who prefer to "eat in", we have arranged for lunch meals to be cooked and served in the festival area by professional caterers. If you want to reserve meals in this way, just book them on the booking page. Vegetarian alternatives are available. Don't wait too long - the caterers need to plan ahead.

Open-Air Barbeque

The last night's milonga, that on the Saturday the 14th, on the Roof Terrace of Kulturhuset, will feature an open-air charcoal Barbeque! If you think this is something for you - and who doesn't? - please sign up for the Barbeque on the booking page (http://tango59degrees.com/booking.php), as the barbeque is not included in the milonga ticket and/or the Milonga Pass.

Finally

We're looking forward to seeing you all at Tango 59 Degrees Stockholm City. Check out the site for more information at http://tango59degrees.com, and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to write to us at info@tango59degrees.com.
