I never thought of dancing in a place so full of charm and history.
In the belly of the Galleria Umberto in Naples opens an extraordinary world. It is one of the Salone Margherita, perhaps simplistic to call it simply milonga. This is a temple of tango. The sweet notes of Di Sarli, De Angelis of the violins, the compassion of D'Arienzo, the majesty of Varela and wrap around the lap at the first cafe-chantant ever opened in Italy.
We must strive to go back a century, the Belle Epoque, a carefree and sophisticated world that still had to be raped by the world wars. With a burden so challenging was almost a duty to organize large events. And that obligation Pasquale Barbaro is doing it with excellence, I would say as excellent sound quality, incredibly dedicated hi-fi that is spreading in the living room.
All the best of the "Neapolitan", forgive a neologism, we meet in the evening activities at this location: charming hospitality, artists of great quality and a great desire to dance in the spirit of tango. Or how to social dance is open to everyone, all ages, at any level .
This melange is an important contribution by other leading figures in the tango scene and Naples Italy. First consignee Sergio y Alejandra Arrue, among the most popular teachers, teachers with great teaching and above all advisers dell'esprit de milonga. When I entered the Salone Margherita, came early as usual to sound check, I saw a class premilonga packed, with people happy to learn the secrets of this dance, comforted by Sergio and Alejandra who generously reveal all the secrets to solving a figure, or simply if you can find it easy to explain a seemingly trivial walk that is the basis of the tango.
E Peppe and Adelma, a couple of friends among the most passionate tango Italian, tireless researchers. Peppe is a visionary explorer in search of the Holy Grail of Tango ... one of the few people that are worth discussing in world of the tango is often clouded by myths and ephemeral trends.
I am happy to be back in distance after the Neapolis Tango Marathon to play in the Salone Margherita, so maybe every now and then I also I need the tango of emotions. Those same emotions that gave me this incredible place. Those same emotions and feelings that gave me the extraordinary event guest artists, directors Mario y Anabella Diaz Hojiman.
Assisi long Olympus tango offered an extraordinary performance, combining a distinctive personality with a mastery of technique that has pochi eguali. Su tutto una fluidità nella dinamica che viene sciorinata non fine a se stessa ma come tela alla Jackson Pollock dove dipingere di volta in volta con l’involontarietà del talento un tema di Pugliese, il compas di D’Arienzo, un classico Di Sarli.
Quando è finita la serata, ed ho abbandonato il Salone Margherita, uscendo a riveder le stelle… ho incontrato una Napoli notturna avvolta nel silenzio. Mi pareva di essermi destato da un lungo sonno. Dalla melodia sotterranea del tango alla quiete della superficie. Ed allora ho compreso che forse il Salone Margherita è come il tango, uno stato dell’anima, perhaps to enjoy the intimacy, but to share in pairs.
