/“When a Finnish man starts dancing a tango, he doesn't dare whisper 'I love you' into a girl's ear. But when the lyrics of the tango say something to that effect, the man can squeeze his partner's hand a little tighter” - Kari Tapio
"Tango has a healing effect. Tango belongs to everyone, and it can be sung by everyone in their own style," - Doctor Ammond
