One of the most beloved popular music scenes in the world, tango’s traditional music and dance has become a local and international obsession. This faithful and exhilarating representation of the 5th Buenos Aires Tango Festival brings to the screen all the squeezes of the accordion, quick kicks, and guttural songs of heartbreak, deceit and national pride. Today’s biggest names in tango perform onstage and off, from the hilariously tense preparations to dozens of performances and intimate interviews with established and rising stars. Over the course of nine days, the documentary captures the most thrilling moments of an event featuring 300 couples from around the world, 9 stages and multitudes of spectators (estimated to have been more than 200,000). The electricity is palpable at the massive open-air performances as the excitable throngs along Corrientes Avenue are easily and happily coerced into belting along to their most cherished tangos. Refusing to be a mere elegy, both the festival and the film do their part to prove tango is not a legacy, but a living and constantly evolving art form.

Summary: Bad stuff
Comment: The quality of the DVD was so poor that it faded out completely then would come back very dard then fade out - quite useless unless one was only interested in listening to the music but that was not why I purchased this. This DVD was a gift and of course caused me great embarrassment. Nowhere in the offering did I see mentioned that it was ONLY in Spanish with no option for subtitles and that it was shipped from Argentina which took much longer than I had counted on.
Customer Rating:
Summary: more tango, less talk!!
Comment: This DVD is mostly interviews, with only about one-fourth music and dance. Big disappointment. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

Summary: Bitter disappointment
Comment: My husband and I visited Buenos Aires in February and were captivated by the tango, both its passionate music and complicated dance steps. We bought this video, hoping to see many experts dancing the tango. Instead, this DVD had numerous interviews with musicians and instrumentals and vocals. From beginning to end, it had less than five minutes of actual performers who were dancing the tango.
