"The tango has the power to pull two strangers together into one,
to dance out their desires...to be great lovers and heroes, if
only for a moment. It's the whisper of sensuality brought
on by the hint of perfume. The tango is also the glamour
of the ballroom and the allure of the underworld. It's
the opulence of Paris and the smoky darkness of a
Buenos Aires cafe. It's the world of subtle metaphors
that captures the melancholy heart."

This Is The Tango slides from simple, steamy music enjoyed by those on the margins of society to elaborate ballroom arrangements. Argentinean-born Guadalupe Jolicoeur is your perfect tango partner with her warm voice and knowledgeable commentary. October 30th, '98 on CBC Radio Two she hosted a special concert presentation of Piazzolla's seldom heard 'operita' 'Maria de Buenos AIres'. Jolicoeur is very interested in Latin American cultural issues and has traveled to Argentina, Brazil and Cuba to research and write about popular music. She comes from a musical family and is currently studying tango dance.
