Rodolfo Outeda

October 23, 1940 —

Rodolfo and I have had conversations on how tango is changing in the milongas of Buenos Aires.  I have danced with him on only one occasion at Lo de Celia.  I know when he will be dancing by the orchestra that is played.  He, like many other milongueros, wants to dance to Anibal Troilo and Carlos Di Sarli.  He dances simply and with feeling.  I know the strength of his embrace–that’s one characteristic that the milongueros have in common.  They never separate and hold a woman very close.  Rodolfo dances on Saturday night in Lo de Celia.
