Tango 2010: An event
balance growing inside and outside the country
visited the festival, some 100,000 foreigners:
The Festival and Tango Dance World continue to grow in number of artists and audiences. According to official data, about 350,000 people attended the Festival and the World Cup in the last two weeks, according to city government figures. For the festival's program passed 550 artists, performing hundreds fifty shows (of which thirteen were productions of the festival). While in the dance world championship Salon Tango and Stage Tango involving 460 couples from 21 countries.
A survey by the Tourism Entity City estimates that this year 100,000 foreigners visited the city by the Festival de Tango. 29.4% came to the city did time motivated by the tango, while in 2008 it was 19% foreigners. It is estimated that these hundred thousand visitors left an impact than a hundred million dollars in spending in the city, confirming that which "Tango Buenos Aires is like soy."
The festival has grown in visibility outside the country, local audiences, and this year was even new areas away by generations of tango. What is needed is some way the need to grow certain structures of the festival: spaces as the main headquarters were too small and uncomfortable and crowded milongas siguenextrañando those in the Obelisk.
In artistic terms, the issue that went left some postcards to remember as the night of homage to Horacio Salgán , emotion Tango Championship final air stage, the presence of an international artist like Ruben Blades singing "Pedro Navaja" versioning to tango, "tribes" young people who took a clean sweep on the night of the Tangos ricotero and tribute to a great danceable as Osvaldo Zotto (who died earlier this year) and the recognition of the great Maria Nieves, couples for many years Juan Carlos Copes .
best. The productions created especially for the festival provide novelty, experimentation and risk necessary to show the different facets of the current scene of the tango. Another achievement was to give more space to dance and choreographic development.
worst. The allocation system of tickets remains an issue to be resolved. Many rooms listed with a high percentage of empty seats because the participants choose not to go at the last minute. El Punto de Encuentro, despite being an art deco building restored for the city, offered very little capacity.
Rescue. Just as the festival opens its space for new productions, also keeps parallel the historical profile. This year there was talk Salgán style (also don Horacio sat at the piano on stage at the theater May 25) and rescues were also lectures and concerts by artists such as Eduardo Rovira .
Eastern. The presence of musicians and dancers from Japan is growing exponentially. This year some dancers stood out in dance championships. The orchestra also wore Aurora. While the East, but the Rio de la Plata also kept coming. This year it created an orchestra between Argentine and Uruguayan musicians led by Andrés Linetzky , with repertoire from both sides. Another high was the concert Luciano Supervielle Bajofondo.
Tango today. The new generation occupied a central space in major conferences, which speaks of the maturity of the artists of today, as the case of Chinese Laborde and Dipi Kvitko , who directs the orchestra Rascasuelos Patricio Bonfiglio, the typical presentation Ardit Ariel, the appearance of revelations Cucuza Castiello and Marisa Vasquez, electronic and orchestral Otros Aires, and the duo of Tute and Jessica with new tangos. The future is assured.

In fact, the great public demand this year in a number of milongas closed meeting point had to be cut Bartolomé Mitre street and get speakers and screen to the streets to dance on the asphalt.
