No One Taught Me To Tango, Hardback Book

No One Taught Me To Tango Hardback

Hardback

Description

Grove chronicles not only his own fascinating Anglo-Argentinian background growing up in Buenos Aires but also the political history of the tango.

He writes, 'In the troubled times of Juan and Evita Peron, the middle classes detested the music and dance so adored by portenos, the ordinary people of Buenos Aires.

Too proletarian, sexy and subversive. These days the tango has enthusiasts worldwide, from Finland to Japan, but I didn't see anyone dance it until I was 18 and didn't attempt it myself until I was nearly 60.' He also details the terrifying moment his father was kidnapped by urban guerrillas and his anguish over the Falklands war.
