Ricardo Vidort y Ewa Kielczewska
Ricardo Vidort, milonguero and a true friend, passed away in Santa Fe, New Mexico, on Sunday, May 21, 2006. He was surrounded by friends, and his loss will be felt by many.
Ricardo spent his last months with his special friend, Ewa Kielczewska, whom he adored. Ewa made his last year in this world a pleasure for Ricardo. She took wonderful care of him when he was ill, both in Santa Fe and Buenos Aires. On behalf of all the friends of Ricardo, we would like to thank Ewa for her devotion.
Ricardo and Ewa went back to Buenos Aires for 5 weeks in April and May, and even though he was not able to dance, Ricardo enjoyed spending time at the milongas and at dinners with his close friends. He always kept a big smile on his face, and that is how we will remember him.
On the following pages, you can see some photos of Ricardo in April 2006, and a few from the previous year when he visited Toronto.

Ricardo comenzo en las milongas de Buenos Aires a los 14 anos, cuando ya estaba bailando.
Nacio el 30 de Agosto de 1929, cuando el Tango comenzaba con su epoca de oro con una nueva evolucion en sus estilos de baile.
Durante los 60 anos siguientes Ricardo fue un colaborador con el desenvolvimiento de los diferentes estilos de baile, transformandose asi en uno de los fundadores que caracterizaron esta particular danza llamada Tango Milonguero.
A traves de su trayectoria Ricardo ha llegado con su ensenanza a diferentes partes del mundo transmitiendo la real filosofia del Tango Milonguero.
Ricardo a participado en mas de 2500 milongas.
El es uno de los pocos individuos de la ciudad de Buenos Aires que hayan tenido la posibilidad de haber vivido casi toda la trayectoria y el proceso evolutivo del Tango Salon Milonguero.
Muchas mas cosas se podrian decir y contar con respecto a Ricardo, pero con tres palabras solamente, podemos definir su persona en el mundo del Tango Milonguero. Ricardo es Barrio, Percal y Luna
