Join us for a live tango music event featuring renowned experts from Rosario, Argentina: Quilici Tessa.

Made up of Carlos Quilici (bandoneonist) and Martín Tessa (guitarist).

Carlos and Martín play traditional tango music with sensitivity, passion and urgency. They weave the distinctive and beautiful sound of the bandoneon (Argentine accordion) with dynamic and passionate guitar to create music which is at once brimming with joy and sorrow, and is unmistakably life affirming. 

This event will have space to listen and space to dance - so If you are a tango dancer, bring your dancing shoes! There will be plenty of dance space and opportunity to participate in the milonga (social dance). 

Also, Don’t worry if  you are not a tango dancer! There will be plenty of cabaret style seating, so please come along and enjoy the live music and see the local tango scene take to the floor for a unique and beautiful evening.
