A Finnish tango sung in Elvish. (I wasn't aware that Quenya, the language created for the Elves by J.R.R. Tolkien, was partially influenced by Finnish. The more you know!) This tango, minus the Elvish, is the national tango of Finland, and the annual tango festival in Finland called the Tangomarkkinat is the oldest tango festival in the world.

I am utterly fascinated by this since I've been taking tango lessons with my sweetie lately, and I think I may have found our music for the showcase in October. I'm hoping the novelty of the Elvish tango distracts from our outlandishly bad dancing.
