Siempre Tango Ottawa holds a monthly milonga, usually on the second Saturday of the month.
Sunday, August 24
We here at Siempre Tango Ottawa have been given a gift, and we are going to grab it with both hands!
We are excited to welcome El Cachivache for their Ottawa debut on Sunday, August 24. Hailing from Buenos Aires, this quartet is currently one of the world’s most popular tango bands. Sometimes labeled as “Tango Punk,” the group is characterized by its undeniably creative, original, and very danceable style.
Please note that La Capital is moving to a later Sunday for this edition only.
Thanks to Burak Ozkosem for this golden opportunity to bring the best of tango to Ottawa!
