In the beginning there was
only darkness and chaos.
DJ's played one full CD after
another -
Recklessly, relentlessly...
On the first day God created
"El Compas."
El Compas reigned the earth
and heavens,
With DeCaro, Canaro,
D'Arienzo, and Donato at his
side,
...Drawing in dancers
from far and wide and asking
them,
Begging them to follow the
Way.
On the second day God created
The Flow.
The Flow soothed the
beast-like savageness of El
Compas, with Beron, Demare, Campos,
and Los Angeles, Together with El Compas the
heavens and earth were shared.
On the third day God created
El Duende. El Duende put the fire in the
eyes of the musicians
and dancers, and together with Pugliese
and Piazzolla at his side, this divine union struck
passion into the hearts of all beings which crossed
their path.
On the fourth day God created
Tandas. Tandas created an order in
the heavens and on earth
By which El Compas, The Flow,
and El Duende could share in their ruling of the
universe.
On the fifth day God made, in
his image, the DJ by which his knowledge could be
spread
through the milongas.
But one angel was exiled from
the heavens and now roams the milongas, offering
the forbidden fruit, which by with a single bite
returns the order that God created
Back into the depths of a
fiery, arhythmic, chaotic hell in which dancers must suffer
under
the hand of a tempted DJ.
Beware, for the forces of
good and evil are among us.
On every floor, in every part
of the world the fallen angel lurks and tempts, but it is up to
each one of
us mortals to take The Path, That God has generously
offered us.
Alex hosts the Milonga BerretĖn on the first and
third Saturdays of the month.
