Facundo Posadas of Argentina dances milonga-candombe with his student Maria Jose-Sosa, previously from Argentina now living and teaching Tango in New York City.
Candombe is the African derived dance/music tradition of Argentina & Uruguay. It is one of the roots of milonga - described as the "father of Milonga & grandfather of Tango".
Facundo is the grandson of Tango composer Carlos Posadas and is a milonguero who danced with the live orchestras from the golden age of tango. He is one of the sources for Robert Farris Thompson's book "Tango:The Art History of Love"
Facundo has been described as "Master of Tango Liso, Milonga in all diversified styles Milonga Lisa, Traspie and Candombe and one of the authentic teachers of Vals Crusado"
