Happy New Year everybody! I am back from holidays in Stockholm, Helsinki, and in between. On New Year's eve (that was Sunday), I walked into Café Tin Tin Tango, which is exactly what the name suggests: café with tango in background and Tintin posters on the wall. It also doubles as launderette (that was my main reason to visit it: the hotel did not do laundry on Sunday.) The washing mashine was well hidden behind the thick screen of tobacco smoke but I managed to find it. While waiting, I had a nice cup of coffee and enjoyed some great music. Which brings us to the subject of Finnish Tango. According to the Pekka Gronow's article for Virtual Finland website,
Finland has taken the potato from Peru — potato in Finnish is peruna, by the way — and the tango from Argentina. Both these South American imports are cultivated in these northern latitudes perhaps even more devotedly than in their countries of origin.This week's song is Suo sana vain performed by Georg Malmstén.
Enjoy the tango!
Kirill

Hola Elena!
Really loved reading your blog. I would like to chat with you more about how you make the pages. I am sure your students really enjoy keeping up-to-date with all this lovely information. I would love to show this to the Arts and Craft tutors, including performing arts, if that is OK. The music is wonderful!
