Oh La La TANGO
The Heavenly Story behind Oh La La Tango…
From the heavenly heights of beauty and consciousness, descending through the voluptuous clouds of the rooftop Yun Bar, appear the LALAs - 3 messengers and goddesses of femininity, briefly touching the Earth and our hearts through the graces of the Peninsula Hotel on Friday evening, August 29th 2014.
Flowing sensuously through the elegant spaces of this magnificent hotel, the LALAs come to rest, re-cycle and rejuvenate on the 4th floor in the MAUS Artist In Residence Studio suite, the earthly residence of the creator of the LALAs, painter, sculptress, performance artist Aima St-Hunon.
Re-emerging from her latest work celebrating eco-consciousness and creative, sustainable living, the Crystal Cocoon, the LALAs hear the passionate call of humanity..
Sirens of Heaven drawn by Sirens of Earth.
The LALA goddesses, hearing the earthy, seductive sounds of Bukapu below , become the Sirens of Heaven drawn by Sirens of Earth, down through the 3rd and 2nd gallery floors, dancing and interacting with Aima St-Hunon’s sensual paintings and sculptures among the over 60 works and installations by fellow MAUS Artist In Residence Bei Shui.
The LALA’s can smell earthly passion…
Following the sensual music from below, the LALAs descend the classic white bridge of the Peninsula, emerging from between the White Stone Polo Horses to get closer to the earthy, elegant sounds of Bukapu and the people in the luxurious main lobby.
Argentine Tango, the most passionate dance on earth.
Resembling scores of free butterflies attracted to the beauty and vital nectar of Bei Shui’s oversize flowers and freed of their own Crystal Cocoon, the LALAs discover and join the many friends of MAUS and aficionados of Argentine Tango filling the lobby with the most passionate dance on earth.
Bukaopu Concert Saloon - a most seductive, exciting, irreverent variety of entertainment
Delighted to share their expressions of femininity and the connection between Heaven, Earth and People, the LALAs enter the Bukaopu Concert Saloon, a new and exciting, seductive and irreverent variety of earthly entertainment. The heavenly LALAs are drawn to dance with Bukaopu, bringing Aima’s sculptures to life and evoking the spirits of passion, femininity, and the shameless celebration of the feminine form in both men and women.
Finally, having fanned the fires of passion and stimulated guests and visitors with their message of love and Lifestyle Of Health, Happiness And Sustainability, the LALAs ascend back among the heavenly clouds of the rooftop YUN Bar.

Cojimar fishing village, Cuba.
Cojímar is a small fishing village east of Havana, forming a ward part of the Habana del Este municipality.
Hemingway reportedly based the principal character in his 1952 The Old Man and the Sea in part on his fishing guide, Cojimar native Gregorio Fuentes (who would indeed live to old age: 104), though it is likely that the Pilar’s original first mate, Carlos Gutierrez, served as the main model. The book won a Pulitzer prize, which the author donated to the Cuban people.
