Lonely Planet Six Degrees

Buenos Aires (1x4)

Air date: Jan 01, 2003

Presenter Asha Gill's feet hardly touch the ground before she's swept off them by tango artist Guillermo Alio. First he teaches her how to tango, then he invites her to become his 'brush,' as they dip their feet in oil paints and dance on canvas, creating abstract tango art. Asha hits the streets with Argentinean romeo Romulo Tirri visiting the famous Recoleta Cemetery - the resting place of Evita - and the feria de matadores night market showcasing Argentinian folk arts and acrobatic gaucho horseman.
