When it's about more than a superstition... The whole country gets involved in the game and every weekend some crazy scenes get created around the cities. Don´t miss out on my reading and music recommendations!
Yes, I read the whole thing. And yes, as an American I don't get the whole soccer/fútbol thing. I also don't like baseball, but there are some sports I DO care about.
I was struck by your jazz musician's comment on bringing the inside out. Like you, Adam, I am in constant search of ways to become a better tango dancer. I search DAILY!! I am very lucky in that I have had a few world-famous Argentine tango dancers tell me the following. “Batt, you’re never going to dance like me. You have to discover and develop YOUR OWN dance!” To this day, I treasure those words. Everyday I work on bringing my “INSIDE OUT” for I love what’s in there.
Batt, thanks so much for your comment! Ultimately I think there's a balance between that "inside" and "outside" because we work really hard on learning the tradition as well as developing our voice. We learn the rules and then we break them according to our personal conviction. Hey, next time you're down here we'll get you to a game so you can fall in love with soccer too!
