The Casa Sarandi Guide to Montevideo and Beyond Karen and Sergio Have Put Together Some Recommendations of Places We Like to Go Ourselves The Casa Sarandi Guide to Montevideo and Beyond Karen and Sergio have put together some recommendations of places we like to go ourselves. Many of them are within walking distance of Casa Sarandi. Please let us know if you visit a place that we should be recommending! WALKING DISTANCE Plaza Matriz A pretty square with colonial buildings around it and a cool antiques There's no information in market on weekends. Some of our guests have recommended the English about Uruguay chivitos in La Corte. anywhere! Yes, we agree. Peatonal Sarandi Sarandi is a pedestrianised street with cafes, antique shops and That's why Karen recently decided bookshops. Definitely check out the Torres Garcia art gallery and the to start blogging. You can check Puro Verso bookshop. Recommended lunch-bars are Estrecho out her new blog (Sarandi 460) and the French-owned Wasa Ethnik (Zabala 1341 just off GuruGuay Sarandi). www.guruguay.net Solis Theatre Also take a look at Uruguaynow. Montevideo and Uruguay's most important theatre. Shows are It has lots of great articles about accessibly priced and often free. There is a lively 30-minute tour neighbourhoods, customs and around the theatre. The Solis Theatre Cafe has wifi and a lovely gift more. Very well-written and and book shop. balanced, unfortunately it is no longer updated. Tristan Narvaja market www.uruguaynow.com On Sundays the Tristan Narvaja antiques-and-everything-else market. It starts at the corner of Av 18 de Julio and Tristan Narvaja street and is open from about 8am until around 2pm. Beware of pickpockets on Tristan Narvaja itself. The side streets are actually more interesting anyway with vendors laying out their wares on blankets. Torres Garcia Museum Uruguay's most famous artist. His most famous work is the map of the Americas with South America at the top. The gift and book shop is a really great place to stock up on gifts - unusual things at very reasonable prices. Gurvich Art Gallery This Lithuanian Jewish artist came to Uruguay as a child. The museum and gallery are a gem. On Ituzaingó on the Colonial square just past the cathedral. www.museogurvich.org Biking, running and walking along the Rambla (Montevideo's 25km boardwalk) Casa Sarandi is two blocks from the rambla. Go down to the rambla from Casa Sarandi and turn left to head The Casa Sarandi Guide to Montevideo and Beyond Version 1.8 Casa Sarandi Guesthouse & Loft, URUGUAY www.casasarandi.com Some rights reserved January 2014 east towards Parque Rodo (km 4.5), plush Pocitos beach (km 8), Buceo and the cemetery (km 10.5) or further. Going right will take you to the port but the views are industrial. There are signposts every half km. Bike rentals Bicicleteria Sur Florida 1205 esquina1 Canelones Tel. 29010792 [email protected] Orange Bikes Tel. 2908 82 86 [email protected] Rate: 4 hours minimum for 8 USD. They will deliver bikes free of charge. Note that they may not be absolutely punctual. If you don't speak Spanish we can give you a hand. *In the guesthouse please park bikes on the street. Our neighbours have asked us not to keep bikes in the entrance. Thanks! Parque Rodó – the park, the funfair and Sunday night drumming The charming neighbourhood where Karen and Sergio live and a park named after a famous Uruguayan writer whose monument is one of many in the park – look out for Confucious overlooking the beach. Stroll the park during the day with hundreds of mate-drinking locals. Hire a pedalo and paddle around the tiny lake. Watch the sunset from the beach and then walk back to Casa Sarandi along the rambla. The waterside funfair (juegos mecanicos) is a step back in time. You have not ridden such a kitsch Ghost Train since you were 10. Off season it opens on weekends only. A children's funfair is on the other side of the park (the corner of Blv Artigas and 21 de setiembre) and opens during the day. If you are here on Sundays join La Melaza, Montevideo's only all-woman candombe drumming troupe (cuerda de tambores), at their weekly open-air drumming session. Join them on Blanes street at around 8 pm on the corner of Gonzalo Ramirez by the steps. Their route takes them along San Salvador. Just follow the sound of drums. See http://uruguaynow.com/la_melaza_candombe.php The Sunday market is mainly of interest to locals however there is a small farmers market between the Defensor Sporting Club and the children's funfair if you are looking for organic produce. Places to have fun The corner of Ciudadela and Canelones Our favourite evening hang-out spot close to the water is five blocks What's on in Montevideo? from Casa Sarandi.

The Shannon Irish Pub stocks are never dubbed - except for local microbrewed beers. children's films. Museo del Vino Maldonado 1150 esquina Gutierrez Ruiz. Tel: 2908 3430 Enjoy a good Uruguayan wine and listen to great music in this tiny bar. Order a bottle or glass of tannat (the grape you should be checking out, it's winning prizes all over the world) and a picada (a selection of cold meats, cheese and bread). The bands are usually of the highest calibre tango, folklore and Uruguayan rhythms. A must. We can phone the owner Miguel to reserve a table if you don't speak Spanish. Tango Classes and Milongas Uruguayan tango developed at the same time as in Argentina and the most famous tango La Cumparsita was written in Montevideo in 1919 just a few blocks from Casa Sarandi. There are two or three daily milongas (places to dance tango), mainly frequented by locals. Most offer classes for beginners (principiantes) before the milonga gets going. Ask Karen for more info if you are interested. 1 Uruguayans give directions by referring to the street and the cross street. Esquina means corner, so “on the corner of”.

Best to go midday when all the stands are open. Weekends especially Sunday lunchtimes are the liveliest. The area is a little sketchy so pay attention. La Pasionaria Reconquista 587 Tel: 2915 6852 Craving veggies? This lunch-time restaurant serves more creative food than the usual Uruguayan steak, including vegetarian dishes and good home-made soups. Be prepared to wait for a table if you go after 1pm. It is located in a gift shop and gallery specialising in unusual gifts by designers and crafts people in a lovely, colonial building with a central courtyard. Santa Catalina Ciudadela esquina Canelones You'll never get a bigger, tastier meal for less in Montevideo. Usually crowded with young people, Uruguay's famously “rustic” president came here for lunch on his first day in office. Supposedly open 24 hours a day except Sundays but might be closed on the whim of the staff. Try the ternera (chunk of veal) or asado (ribs). Dueto Bartolome Mitre 1386 between Sarandi and Rincon Tel: 2915 3231 Many of our guests have insisted that we include Dueto in our recommendations - several have loved it so much they have eaten there three times in two days. This place stands out for its “urban cuisine” and the excellent price of their set menu. The set menu has three courses including a drink for under 500 pesos. Good size portions, extremely fresh fish, unusual vegetable servings eg fresh pea purée. The service and decor are charming. The art-deco building is an ex-police station and the bathrooms are where the cells were. Open Monday to Saturday for lunch and dinner. Solis Theatre, Rara Avis and the Theatre Cafe Buenos Aires 652 Tel: 2915 0330 Part of the Solis Theatre, Rara Avis was awarded “best in Montevideo” by UruguayNow.com.

LA POESÍA TANGUERA DE ELADIA BLÁZQUEZ: DE LA MELANCOLÍA TRADICIONAL A LA VANGUARDIA RENOVADORA by MARÍA MARTA LÓPEZ Under the Direction of Elena del Río Parra ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to explore and analyze the ars poetica in the work of Eladia Blázquez (1936-2005), and to appreciate to what extent it converges or separates detaches itself from the traditional tango lyrics. Due to her numerous pieces, she is the first and only woman to write both music and lyrics consistently, while proposing a different viewpoint in tone and themes in order to update them to current times. Among them, the major are Buenos Aires, life and identity. The researcher proposes that Blázquez nourished herself on the classics, recreating them while offering new expressive possibilities, shifting at times from their melancholic tone and the moaning sound of the bandoneón, tango’s soul-haunting instrument, to a more hopeful one.

  • The Dance Series from Ortofon Is Now Complete – MC Tango Joins MC Samba & MC Salsa for Almost Sixty Years, Ortofon Has
    March, 2007 The dance series from Ortofon is now complete – MC Tango joins MC Samba & MC Salsa For almost sixty years, Ortofon has been at the forefront of music reproduction from analogue records. Throughout the years Ortofon have developed many new and creative designs for the enjoyment of music lovers and audio enthusiasts all over the world. WHY AN ORTOFON MOVING COIL CARTIDGE? Many have asked the question: Why is the sound of a moving coil cartridge so superior to that of a traditional magnetic: The answer in one word is linearity. The patented Ortofon low-impedance, low-output design is inherently linear over the entire audible range. This coupled with unequalled tracking ability and unique diamond profiles combines to deliver a sound previously deemed unattainable. The MC Tango, MC Samba and MC Salsa is a direct result of our endeavours. MC Tango has an elliptical diamond which is cut and polished to Ortofon’s standards, and the output is 0.5 mV. The MC Tango is our MC entry level cartridge with a very high cost/performance ratio. MC Samba and MC Salsa have a tiny, nude Elliptical or Fine Line diamond, mounted on a very light and rigid cantilever. This results in low equivalent stylus tip mass and cantilever compliance on 14 and 15 µm/mN, which means that MC Samba and MC Salsa will give excellent results with virtually any tone arm. The armature has been designed as a tiny lightweight cross, and the coils are mounted at exactly 90 degree to each other (just like the walls of the record groove), which is improving the channel separation.

Chapter 2 Another Look at the History of Tango The Intimate Connection of Rural ·and Urban Music in Argentina at the Beginning of the Twentieth Century Julia Chindemi and Pablo Vila Since the late nineteenth century, popular music has actively participated in the formation of different identities in Argentine society, becoming a very relevant discourse in the production, not only of significant subjectivities, but also of emotional and affective agencies. In the imaginary of the majority of Argentines, the tango is identified as "music of the city," fundame ntally linked to the city of Buenos Aires and its neighborhoods. In this imaginary, the music of the capital of the country is distinguished from the music of the provinces (including the province of Buenos Aires), which has been called campera, musica criolla, native, folk music, etc.

  • Tango Levels: the 22 Techniques of Tango
    Tango Levels: The 22 Techniques of Tango A proposed framework to support growth and learning by Mitra Martin "Chaos can't sustain itself. It's too easy, and it's too unsatisfying." ­ Jon Stewart 1. Introduction 2. Tango’s Techniques 3. How Is My Technique? 4. How to Improve: Technique and Movement 5. Tango Process 6. A Note to Teachers 7. Next Steps 8. Assessment Tool 1. Introduction This text exists to provide help to dancers who want to know what they need to do in order to improve their skills in Tango, and teachers who want ideas on how to help their students. In the process of endeavoring to establish a Tango school we have noticed many students of Tango being confused about what to focus on, and as a result losing motivation. In the absence of clear, objective, trustworthy frameworks for growth provided by experienced dancers, learners will often invent their own, which can be misleading or incoherent, and lead to wasted energy. When we (somewhat hesitantly) instituted our first objective test of skills, the “200 level exam,” it was interesting to notice how productive, engaged, and curious learners became in the process of preparing for the exam. They would attend classes and take lessons more often, ask more thoughtful questions, ask people to practice with them, engage more deeply with teacher’s feedback. Defining, maintaining and defending class levels has been a conundrum for teachers. Most students are not able to accurately self­assess, so they go to the wrong classes. Classes cannot be taught at an “Advanced” level if they are filled up with dancers who are beginners.
