Volver Volver by Buika — danced in Tuscany, spring 2025.
In 2025 we discovered Buika. Discoveries like this are highlights. They stay with you forever. To find an artist whose songs, several of them, do the same thing to you — that one feeling we cannot do without: This music makes me want to dance tango.
First: it must make me walk. Tango is a walking dance. The music has to carry me into the step. With this piece it happens after the first two chords. Two notes. That is all it takes. It knocks me off my feet. I want to dance this, no matter what comes next. It can only be good.
Second: it must move me — and it must breathe. Desire. Pain. Grief. Anger. Buika's voice wakes all of this in me. It makes my soul ring. And instantly I want to show, with my whole body, what this music does to me.
Whether someone wants to dance with me or not: then I dance alone. I don't need a partner for that. When the music plays, and there is space and time, I move to it. As a tanguero. I make music with my body to the music. Sometimes as practice, sometimes as performance.
And then someone steps into my dance space. Someone in whom this music stirs the same thing. Instantly, it begins to crackle. We feel the flow of energy between us — before any touch. We notice each other. We show, with our whole presence, what we feel right now. This is the moment when an unforgettable tango becomes possible.
Fully with yourself — fully in the music. Letting the other simply be, without leaving yourself. That is the foundation of true connection. When “being good” no longer matters. When only being remains — with yourself and with the music.
Then the encounter in the room can become unforgettable. Like this dance with my goddess. We had heard the piece only a few times. We had never danced it. We were completely free. Fully in the elonga vibe. And we were given this encounter as a gift — for us, and for everyone in the room. We thank life for this gifted moment.
