Never before has the erotic, sensual nature of the tango been captured so perfectly in photographs. Here, for the first time, photographer Isabel Munoz presents a unique and sultry vision of the dance that can only be described as an act of seduction. The duotone photographs are accompanied by a short story by Evelyne Pieiller that explores the effect of the tango on one particular gentleman, and a fascinating collection of lyrics from the most popular tango songs of all time (printed here in both Spanish and English).

I think this is about the most sensuous book of tango photography ever. I have two of them.
The Tango in Words and Photographs
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
"Tango" is a stylish and sexy coffee table book for fans of the tango. It features 80 duotone (black and white) photographs by Isabel Munoz of dancers in various stages of tango. On the facing pages there are lyrics of popular tango songs, displayed like poetry, in both Spanish and English. A short story by French author Evelyne Pieiller prefaces and introduces us to the photographs and lyrics. Many of the photographs are erotic, and some are semi-nude, so this book may not be to everyone's taste. But "Tango" beautifully captures the drama and eroticism of this dance that was born of competition in the bordellos of Buenos Aires and has achieved -just enough, but not too much- respectability as it continues to capture the imagination of couples around the world.
Isaballa Munoz's "Tango" is red hot!!

This steamy book captures the intimacy of the tango. It is a great gift to buy for any tango afficionado and even your lover.Not only does the book have photographs, but also lyrics to Spanish songs along with the English translations. The lyrics tell stories of love,betrayal and recollection of a lost lover.
A tango for two book, be careful who you are giving it to...

I bought this book in Buenos Aires, I was looking for a tango book as a present for my tango teacher when I saw Isabel's book: it stood among all the others.. but it wasn't the right one for my teacher, it was instead the right one for my lifetime partner, my wife! So I bought two tango books that night in Buenos Aires...
