Alberto and Valorie, the master teachers from New Orleans, LA, USA, are known to the world of tango for their wonderful newsletter/blog El Firulete.
Aside from El Firulete, Alberto and Valorie produce other blogs, podcasts and materials. See Links section.
In 2005 they published the definitive reference on structure of the Argentine tango, based on solid field and archival research. They watched and interviewed the scores of the old-time milongueros and systematized the knowledge in this unique book.
If you are a confused student of the Argentine tango, this book is an excellent help for you to sort out what and how to learn about the Argentine tango.
The topics of the interview: the evolution of the modern social tango, the teaching and learning styles, cultural differences. All accompanied by great musical intermissions, selected by Alberto and Valorie.
