Tango Festival!

Desde el sábado 3 y hasta el sábado 10 de marzo de 2012, se realizará el Primer Ave Tango Festival, un encuentro que buscará agrupar en una semana a todos aquellos ciclos ó movidas tangueras que se desarrollan a lo largo del año en distintos barrios porteños, todas ellas gestionadas por los mismos artistas (músicos, bailarines y/o organizadores de milongas) de forma independiente.

En el Primer Ave Tango Festival participarán las milongas “Parakultural” y “Orillera”, los ciclos “El Tango vuelve al Barrio (ETVaB)”, “ConCiertos Atorrantes”, “Fado Tango Club”, “Tango Contempo”, “Tangos con el Alma” y el bar “Sanata”. Algunos de los artistas que pasarán por el escenario de Ave Tango son Alberto Podestá, Guillermo Fernández, Roxana Fontán y Ariel Ardit con su Orquesta Típica, entre otros. Además, habrá exposición de fotografías de Carlos Vizzotto, Gabriela Manzo y Foong I Toscano Photostudio.

Lugar: Centro Cultural Ave Tango (Av. Almirante Brown 1375, La Boca)

Prepping for Argentina

Something about traveling makes my fingers ache for the keyboard, back to blogging, tagging, posting and linking to things that all have to do with Argentina and Chile as a way to prepare for my March 2012 trip south con mi madre.

What always make me happy when I travel? taking pictures of street murals! Where can I do that in Argentina??
