In their words

  • Después, cuando hacíamos 'Yo te canto Buenos Aires' con todo, yo creo que en la semana bailábamos por lo menos tres o cuatro veces, en cada programa de televisión

    Later, when we did 'Yo te canto Buenos Aires' on top of everything, I think we danced at least three or four times a week, on every television program.Tangopedia translation
