Andres Amarilla & Geraldine Rojas
In 1993, when Andres and Geraldine were both teenagers (he 17, she 13), they performed together for this homage to Petroleo. At the end of the clip you see Petroleo at the main table when they walk up to pay their respects. You can see Mingo Pugliese standing behind Petroleo. At the very beginning of the clip you can see the young boy Pablo Pugliese in a chair with a video camera.
This video is available on http://www.andresamarilla.com/video.htm Many more videos are there featuring Andres and his wife Meredith Klein.
About this video, Meredith wrote (on tango-l):
When Andres Amarilla was 17, he partnered with Geraldine Rojas (then age 13) for a year. Together, they performed over 20 times at Buenos Aires milongas, including Sunderland, Akarence, and Sin Rumbo.
After a lot of searching, we were finally able to locate a video of one of Andres and Geraldine's performances. This one was given in October 1993 at the milonga Glorias Argentinas as an homage to the legendary Petroleo. You can see Petroleo at the end of the video, standing behind the table in the center of the frame.
