Nau/Pereyra - Der Klang meiner Erde

Nicole Nau und Luis Pereyra

Der Klang meiner Erde

 
300 pages, Hardcover, in german language 2025

An invitation to deepen your own dance experience
The dance couple Nicole Nau and Luis Pereyra are among the most famous in the world. The two used the time when the coronavirus pandemic brought Argentina to a standstill to realize a long-cherished project: a narrative non-fiction book on the subject of Argentine tango. With their usual energy, they threw themselves into writing: "What used to be our dancing now became writing," they write in the introduction. The reader can feel this passion and dedication on every page.
In 300 pages and twelve chapters, Nau and Pereyra take their readers on a fascinating journey through the history and essence of tango, delving deep into the lesser-known realms of tango history. They explain the importance of the correct embrace and why the looseness of the woman's waist is so essential to the dance. They also venture a glimpse into the future of tango.

The past, present, and future of Argentine tango culture are explored—all framed by dance images of the Nau-Pereyra couple and punctuated by the poetry of Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges. 
The Sound of My Earth is much more than a normal non-fiction book. It is not only an invitation to discover further facets of tango, but also to deepen one's own dance experience.
