[ Recommended book ] "KISS & TANGO" by Marina Palmer


* The true story of a New York advertising executive falling in love with argentine tango, leaving behind her carrier and moving to Buenos Aires in search for a partner in dance and life in an attempt to become a professional tango dancer. Chronicled by herself in diary-style confessions. Written by a true insider of the tango world (in my opinion), thus exploring the many aspects of Argentinean culture such as tango, milonga, mate, the spanish card game named "truco", empanadas, dulce de leche, etc. Promised to be truly entertaining for tango aficionados and/or those who have been to Buenos Aires. Tango beginners might as well find inside the book the answers to several probable questions you may have...

Feel like not understanding the argentines? Get the book! From local or online bookstores such as Amazon.com.
