Philly Tango Lab

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.
Tango panorama might have changed in the last decades, but there’s still people who couldn’t concieve a good party without a guitar player and some singers. And if there’s empanadas or asado (and the ocassional wine), even better!
And we are backed by the Notsolatin organization, already a staple of South Philly, in which most of the community of musicians gather in a dozen of events every month to enjoy great home-made food, friendship, music and endeless jams.
