This is pretty much the standard of music in our house lately:



I'm not saying I love it...  just that it's "there".   :P

The debate in a couple of other threads brought this song to mind.  Not really a country fan, but a local band covers this song really well, and I do like some of Shania's music.

Positive message?
Men grow cold as girls grow old
And we all lose our charms in the end
But square cut or pear shape these rocks don't lose their shape
Diamonds are a girl's best friend.
. . .
In this thread wine, men, and song are a girl's best friend.
One more with a postive message - a little song and dance and a long line of men
waiting to dance with lovely Dasha, hostess of the SIberian Salsa Fest:

After salsa classes we used to gather in our salsa school's courtyard and continued dancing the night away.

Ah, what happy days those were! And this video, it brings back so many good memories...

Ade, this is not the first time I see you writing plurals of nationalities as genitives in an otherwise correct English. Some Norwegian influence? Just curious ;).

No, just my very bad English that creeps in when I'm not focused and paying attention.  :(

A nice rueda, GOMG.
Here's the Soul Train version of Rueda in market square Krakow.   Must be the Afro-Cuban influence...

And they have a must-see salsa event down deep in the salt mine outside of Krakow in Wieliczka:

So, Mr. JuanQueridoVerde, where did you learn salsa?

I can understand Moon Goddess because I know UA ladies love it and seen them dance to it at every opportunity.

What say you?

@Moon Goddess
For young guys to have dates in Latin America (at least for the majority of them) they have to be dancers. Not expert dancer, just able to move their feet to the tune of the cowbell. On my first trip to meet my wife,we went to a very nice disco with some of her friends. I was really surprised when they started playing music from El Gran Combo. I saw my wife enjoy the tune so I asked her if she would like to dance and she said yes. I was the only man on the dance floor, everyone else were ladies dancing with each other. What happened next is hard to believe. Two of the girls dancing together approached us and cut in the dance. After a while I was being USED. I was their dancer as they would be taking turns. I looked at my wife and she motioned me to keep dancing. After a while and out of breath I asked her why she didn't come to the rescue. She said I had that look of having too much fun.

By the way, this is by no means surprising....   :) Well, let's stop dancing around the fact that "dancing is the vertical expression of a horizontal desire legalized by music"  ;D

"Dancing is the vertical expression of a horizontal desire legalized by music"  ;D
G.B. Shaw's aphorism was more appropriate when dancing was performed by coordinated couples holding close together ;).

Initially waltz, and even more so later tango, were considered licentious and banned in some places for requiring closer physical contact than, say, the menuet, the quadrille, etc.

Dancing in the 1900s has always wavered from coordinated couples to coordinated groups, until the shake appeared in the late mid 1960s and is still practiced nowadays in various later forms in discos with its simple yet monotonous 2/4 beat and artless movements, more akin to aerobics than dance :(.

Latin-American dances still require couple coordination, fortunately, so one may not totally despair about the social meaning of dance :D

I've always suspected that Irish music had a deep influence on US white music, and here is probably the forebear of Fred Astaire's and others' tip-tap, the Irish reel ;D:

Another European tap dance is the Andalusian flamenco, possibly of Arabic origin considering its original location in Southern Spain. It uses musical scales form Medieval times (Aeolian and Phrygian modes).

This is the "history-of-love-for-three-minutes" dance which exotic bouquet was  flavored by dance ingredients from Cuba, Spain and South America. Yes, this is Tango!

Tango and Ice

Astor Piazzolla's Libertango ;). Another of his memorable pieces is Oblivion:


which lends itself well to a classical orchestration too, the accordion part played by an oboe:

Curious name, meaning pelagic - of the sea - in Greek (from πέλαγος). Any connections?

YES! There is a direct connection between them, Alessandro  ;D

Pelageya is Russian form of Pelagia. The two names are related to Pelagius, or Pelagios, which was derived from "pelagos" - the sea
