This was it! The day we had all committed to participate in had arrived. Our Planet Our Tango. A day of history making. A 24hr global embrace. In Prague, proceedings started with the Sunlight Milonga at the decadent Lucerna Palace. The DJ from Tokyo kicked off the grande milonga and in Prague, we witnessed the beginning of the next 24hrs.

And the music played on…

Big screens displayed milongas in other places, other dancefloors. Coming across the milonga comms, the voices of fellow tangueros. The same music, the same ronda, the same dance. The same embrace. Tango really is a worldwide community of people from all walks of life. We all have one thing in common. We know. That special thing. That special place? Tango…

And the music played on…

Wandering the beautiful streets of Prague, through the old town central square, meandering along tiny streets to ‘The Bridge’. Its river flowing straight through ancient Prague. Down to the water and there….

The music played on…

Twilight. The sun set gently over the Vltava River, running under the Club Lavka as the worldwide global milonga continued on. Ever the constant image of milongas going on all around the world.

And still the music played on…

Onwards. Onwards to the Planet Tango Milonga at Slovensky dum. A performance by Cecilia Piccinni & Riccardo Biggeri kicked off the evening and was followed shortly afterwards by a very special collaboration of artists, dancers and performers. An ecclectic story. Of life and tango? Ozgur Arin & Sonja Schussler, Rita Caldas & Vasco Martins, Guggi Zuzakova & Sven Elze joined Mariano Otero & Alejandra Heredia in the storytelling.

Finally, the worldwide milonga travelled to Prague. The moment had arrived. It was our turn. DJ Analia La Rubia played out the live milonga for 3hrs. The milonga continued till dawn and…

So the music played on…
