Noches del Tango 2011

2 special evenings of Tango film, music, dance

We are so pleased to be able to offer you, in collaboration with the Embassy of the Argentine Republic to Kenya, two cultural evenings of Tango, combining film, music and live dance! We will start each of these Noches del Tango with a screening of a superb tango music film, to be then followed with an exhibition of traditional tango social dancing, and subsequently to open up the floor for a Milonga, or social tango gathering, for the dancing pleasure of the growing tango community in Nairobi as well as for the aural and visual pleasure of everyone else!

These unique tango music film screenings, never before screened publicly in Kenya, will be in Spanish with English sub-titles--for further details and reviews on each film please follow the respective film title linked below. Entrance to both these evenings is absolutely free, and so please do bring along all your friends who are intrigued by the mysteries of tango and its music! The Noches del Tango are as follows:

4:30 pm - Sat 26 Nov 2011 - Si Sos Brujo: una historia de tango

Si sos brujo Evening starts in the ERC Hall at the Tribe Hotel,  at 4:30 pm for film screening at 5:00. The 79 minute--beautifully shot, beautifully put together, and a real insight into the world of tango music--documentary will be followed by a live openair Tango social dancing event, or Milonga, just outside at ERC Patio, during which there will be live demonstrations of traditional social Tango dancing from visiting international guests! Everyone, dancers and non-dancers alike, are invited to stay on to simply enjoy beautiful Tango music and dancing.

6:00 pm - Tue 8 Nov 2011 - El último aplauso

El último aplauso Evening starts in the Auditorium at Alliance Française in Nairobi, at 6:00 pm for film screening at 6:30. The 88 minute landmark tango musical documentary--with its absolutely gorgeous soundtrack--will be followed by a live Tango exhibition, just upstairs from the Auditorium at the Multi-Purpose Room and Terrace. Everyone, dancers and non-dancers alike, are then invited to stay on and get a first-hand taste of a Milonga, as the dance floor is opened up for "social tango dancing", a great opportunity to simply enjoy beautiful Tango music and dancing!
