A Brief History of the Black Roots of Argentine Tango

[DjMichaelNice]

This is valuable information, however the voice over should be done by a professional, or at least better rehearsed. The stutters and mispronunciation of some words is distracting from the documentary and questions it's credentials. Please don't take this post negative but constructive. Professional voice over gives an inflection to the information that makes it sound more credible.

Hi, Nice video , and lots of information... I only have two comments: It is "Canyengue" Not "Cayengue", and it is "Candombe" as you correctly mention first not "condombe" as you write later. Also as someone else mention, the main expression of "Candombe" takes place in Uruguay, not Argentina. However I think you gather a lot of great info, can you infrom me of where did you take the video of the two dancers dancing to the candombe rhythm (fast drums alone) do they have more videos? Thank you!

Thank you for your comments. I actually rushed to put this together for a group of high school students and was unsure at the thime of how to pronounce Cayengue or Candombe.  I figured I'd get a little slack being that I'm a gringo anyway. I hoped that I redeemed myself by studying and presenting my own Candombe/Milonga routine (see uploads on my channel)

YouTube clips include Valeria Solomonoff and Omar Vega at Blue Moon Milonga, New York 2006

Have lots of videos on a variety of subjects. Mostly having to do with dances and their histories. I think that clicking on my profile will display them. Thanks for the compliment.
