THE TIMES
Posted on 12 of June 2012 written by: Sam Marlowe
Eric Turro Martinez lead dancer during the 1990’s of the legendary Buena Vista Social Club.
Turro arrives in a scarlet suit, his glittering partner circling him as he slides closer to the ground with eloquently choreographed desire.
The intricate footwork and sinuous muscularity are steeped in sweaty, yet playful eroticism. There follow scenes of flirtation a spitting catfight dances peacockish display, elegant 1950s-inspired routines of romance.
