Milonga Sin Nombre playlist - Aug 2015

The August 22 Milonga Sin Nombre was organized as a special thank-you celebration for the volunteers of the Mountain Milonga Retreat 2015 

Volunteer Appreciation night at the Milonga Sin Nombre
 "with the roaring comeback of the banana empanadas"
There are dark clouds of uncertainty about the future use of our beautiful venue -
let's hope that this twentieth Sin Nombre won't be the last one...

Mountain Milonga Retreat 2015, the largest one of the many annual retreats traditionally organized by the Wasatch Tango Club in the historic 1929 ski lodge high above the Salt Lake Valley, was a lot of fun - and whole lot of work. Hats off to our fantastic volunteers and staff, to our wonderful instructors and musicians and DJs, and kudos to all the tangueros who helped at every turn of this amazing tango weekend! Thank you for your generosity, thank you for the openness and friendship, thank you for the magic of the connections between souls - this is what makes the M2 so special and unique. See you again next year - please mark your calendars for August 12-15, 2016!

with the summer night of just 26 people, I feel that it's time to try four-tango tandas at last. It is a format I have virtually no experience with, but it just makes sense to play fewer, longer tandas on a night like this

It's always a question if it is a better idea to run a few alternative / unusual tandas back to back, or to spread them evenly in the milonga flow. I guessed that increasing energy and then transitioning to D'Arienzo will keep the dancers on the floor throughout this block of tandas, and it worked very well

My all-time favorite Laurenz hits are with Alberto Podesta, which, of course, means that I may be playing other Pedro Laurenz great tangos too seldom. Trying to fix it now (and switching back to 3-song tandas because we are almost out of out time and I still want to play the crazy late D'Arienzo instrumentals and the must-have Pugliese):
