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.
We aim to contribute to the promotion of tango music by teaching the fundamentals of tango playing to musicians and creating Tango ensembles directed by musicians with known expertise on Tango music.
On our monthly event at the gorgeous premises of the Ethical Society pf Philadelphia on Rittenhouse Square, we offer a workshop for musicians, from 3 to 5pm, and a concert open to those who want to listen and/or dance to Tango music, featuring the Maestros, the ensemble, and special guests, as well as a mini jam session.
Registration for the workshop can be done writing to the musical director, Alejo de los Reyes: contacto@alejodelosreyes.com
Scores for the workshop are available for all instruments.
This month we'll have the visit of Rodrigo Ávalos (bandoneón), recenlty moved to New York from Buenos Aires.
General admission is $30, there's paid parking around the area.
