Yesterday I went to La Baldosa and had to ditch my favourite ever singer performing live, Podestá, in Canning. Why am I bothering to write about La Baldosa? Number 1, it's a really nice place, with a good dancefloor and enough tables to sit everybody. 2, It has a genuine feeling to it. There are tourists, for sure, but you see less of those who take 5 minutes to do the 400 giros in the same place, stalling the ronda. 3, the DJing was excellent. He played one of my favourite Canaro tracks which I have only found played once, in Nijmegen - S.O.S. 4th, Sexteto milonguero, what a band! Not one that will copy cat great maestros but one that will make their own style using the general tracks. Ever since El Arranque, a breathe of fresh air!

sexteto milonguero, only seen them once but they were fantastic. Great playing, singing, and you're right, they make it their own.
I saw Sexteto Milonguero playing live in Ciudad Cultural Konex. They are great! They are so powerful! I love the singer's new interpretations of tango classics... and the contrast between his pop star posing and the tango music. A new turn respecting the original tunes... brilliant!
