Who cares what's "really Argentine". Clearly Homer and Christina have been influenced by such portenos as Frumboli, "Pulpo" Esbres and perhaps Godoy. Also, clearly they are Americans, move like Americans and sometimes include American moves . That's their genius and it's to be applauded.
It's not museum tango, but it's great tango. Just like fusion is jazz and so is ragtime. Best, they know that tango lives in social dance, not on the stage. Tango is for dancers, not viewers.
I am sorry but I have to make a negative comment. More and more I am seeing the influence of Modern Jive or salsa holds and turns appearing in Ballroom Cha cha Rumba samba etc.And now in AT. Its very clever to get in and out of these hammerlocks but I dont find they add anything to Tango or the other dances I mention. I love watching Homer and his partners dancing.I watch the dance shows that are popular in the USA and UK with the celebrities and all the pros are doing it. I hope it fades out
What is this MUSIC please?

It is nice for an alternative form of dance but this is not argentine tango anymore.
