Milonga Del Corazon has invited one of the best DJs in Asia - Royce Chau, as the guest dj on 4 October.
About Royce Chau
Royce has been dancing tango since 1999. From the early stage, she felt in love with tango music and since then, she collects tango music from all possible sources, including tango CDs from Argentine, Europe and Japan, LPs and even SPs. Now she owns one of the biggest tango music collections among DJs in Asia.
Royce DJed regularly for TangoTang’s practices and milongas since 2002. After she left Hong Kong, she DJed for her tango home whenever she visited her birthplace. She was also one of the organizers and DJ of the milonga “Las Ventanas del Corazón” in Singapore. During her last stay in Tokyo, she DJed occasionally for Zero Hour’s overnight milongas.
After writing several passages about Javier, it is time to insert a special notice about our upcoming Milonga del Corazon on 31 May, Saturday evening.
Emily and I have decided to change the evening to a "Charity Milonga", we will donate all the entrance revenue we receive from you guys (after deducting for studio rental and food and drinks cost) to a recognised charity fund specially dedicated to the Szechuen earthquake victim. We are also now asking the studio owner to waive the rental charge for that night as a gesture of sincerity and appreciation for our effort. We hope this will allow us to donate a bit more. We will scan a copy of the bank deposit slip to put on our blog for you guys to check out.
The entrance fee will remain the same as HK$100 and you will be able to enjoy the same high quality classical tango music and romantic atmosphere as usual. We hope this small effort and initiative from us will create more repercussion in the rest of the tango community and we hope other organisers of other milongas will make similar or bigger effort together to help those who are suffering from this natural disastor.
"Milonga del Corazon" means "a tango party of the heart" and we hope that while all of you are enjoying the beautiful dancing that tango is, you will at the same think about those who are living in another part of this world needing our help.
I would also like to take this opporunity to appeal for the directors of Tangotang to make a sizeable donation to similar charity on behalf of the members. I am not sure what procedures would be needed to have this approved, probably it is just a matter of having the directors proposing this and an amount and have it approved by voting in a special meeting. We all know Tangotang is cash rich now after so many successful projects and many of us have been wondering how we can best use those money. Perhaps making some donation to the Szechuen earthquake charity is the best way to pull together the spirit of the tango community and to show that "tango brings people closer together".
Now we have taken the first step, we hope you will follow and do more!
Support us on 31 May MDC!
PS: Eventually we have donated totally $2900 to Red Cross via HSBC. Thank you very much for your kind support!
我接受 nuevo tango, 不過更愛 Javier ……(之三)
上回我說到我不太認同一些極瑞「反nuevo」舞者不斷借用 Javier或一些老一代之”milonguero”老師 之名不斷在舞池內打壓”tango nuevo”之老師及學生去美化自己學不懂nuevo technique…
