Philly Tango Lab
at the Philadelphia Ethical Society
hosted by
Alejo de los Reyes and Shinjoo Cho
Philly Tango lab will be back this Sunday (13th) at the Philadelphia Ethical Society, and my dear friend, the bandoneonist Shinjoo Cho will join us this time. Event starts at 3pm with a tango ensemble workshop for musicians. If you want to attend, hit me up on my social media or email and I can send you scores to work on. At 5.30, a concert with Shinjoo, the ensemble and friends that will come to join, where you can join as audience or on the dance floor. General admission is $30, there's paid parking around the area.
Bandoneonist, composer and band leader, Shinjoo has been the main reference in Philly's musical tango scene for many years, prior to her moving to Lyon, France. We are very thrilled to have her joining the ensemble and playing for us her newest material!
Philly Tango Lab is a small group of volunteers that aims to create events in which tango dancers, musicians and general audience can experience the full extent of tango culture, as it is still alive in Buenos Aires, not only on Milongas (tango dances), but in small cafes in which singers connect with a devout audience, in the long rehearsals of the "Orquestas Típicas" (the tango Big Bands), in the connection between the musicians, dancers and audience, and, most of all, like it's enjoyed among friends in a party.

Descendanze: In Full Effect! is a multicultural dance extravaganza including African and Native American dancers. The show's content is diverse, expressive, interactive, entertaining, fun, family-friendly, and culturally educational for all ages. The dance pieces express cultural awareness and identity, inviting audiences of all backgrounds to connect with and learn from these traditions. The choreography is both traditional and contemporary, designed to foster cross-cultural connections.
The new piece, entitled "The Butterfly Effect," is a beautiful collaboration among the main choreographers: Vaughnda Hilton, Leonna Elliott, and Renelle Smith-Hopkins. This piece is an expression of power, culture, unity, strength, and the will to endure.
Vaughnda Hilton is an Indigenous dancer, choreographer, producer, educator, and cultural leader whose work has helped shape Philadelphia’s Indigenous artistic communities for more than five decades. She is the founder and Artistic Director of Native Nations Dance Theater, Philadelphia’s only Indigenous professional touring dance company, and a 2024 Philadelphia Cultural Treasures Artist Fellow.
Through Native Nations Dance Theater and decades of national and international performances, Vaughnda has expanded the visibility of Indigenous arts while mentoring generations of artists. Her work bridges traditional Indigenous knowledge with contemporary movement, using dance as a powerful form of storytelling, cultural expression, and connection. Through collaborations that weave together Indigenous and African traditions, she explores shared histories, resilience, identity, and community.
Beyond the stage, Vaughnda is a founder and producer of Philadelphia’s Indigenous Peoples Day celebrations and has created transformative spaces through workshops, public programs, and collaborations with institutions including The Philadelphia Orchestra. Throughout her career, she has helped ensure that Indigenous cultures and communities are recognized as essential to Philadelphia’s cultural landscape and beyond.

Some sounds never leave you. Govt Cheaze built their name on that truth.
Formed in Philadelphia in 2000, Govt Cheaze carved out their own lane with a hybrid of hip-hop, rock, and soul that hit different every time the lights went down. Bandleader and co-founder Kameelah Waheed built something rare - a collective with real edge and real heart. Hypeman and vocalist X Vertigo brought the fire from the front, while a deep roster of talent including Michael Brown, Vince Butler, Randy Waters, Mandy Heck, James Laureman, Antwan Carr, Keenan, Big Mike, and Joe Jordan gave the band a sound that grew, shifted, and stayed undeniable across fifteen years.
Their journey took them to stages that mattered. Govt Cheaze performed at the first annual Roots Picnic, held it down at the Atlanta and Dewey Beach Conferences, and earned a home on the Philly Through My Ear label, the imprint owned by Will Smith Sr. These weren't just gigs - they were moments that defined a generation of Philly music.
They retired in 2015. And the city never quite filled that space.
Eleven years later, Govt Cheaze comes home.
De Tierra Caliente is a dynamic Latin fusion band that ignites the air with vibrant colors and irresistible rhythms, creating an infectious atmosphere that gets everyone up and dancing. Their music combines catchy melodies, unaffected lyrics, and a fusion of Latin, Caribbean, Brazilian and American rhythms, resulting in an unforgettable celebration of music and culture.
