- 1:36:48Around 1989, at Club Sin Rumbo, Petróleo was showing Zotto a figure (a salida with voleo-castigo) and repeating it, asking 'did you see it?' -- until one time his body simply stopped executing it mid-tanda. He left the table saying he was going home; he was by then living poor on Calle Lugones in a converted garage room a friend had built him because he could no longer pay for a pensión. Walking him to the door of Sin Rumbo, he told Zotto he would not dance again.El Tango Hoy con Miguel Angel Zotto - Tango baile- Tango Danza - Entrevista con Lucas Paez.
