Inwood Art Works: Viva! Tango!

Inwood Art Works presents a concert including tangos, milongas and valses from the early 1900’s to Astor Piazzolla (1921-1992),the great master of Nuevo Tango.

TANGO is a music and dance genre born from the confluence of European, African and Indigenous influences in Latin America – particularly Buenos Aires and Montevideo.

Two great Latin divas join forces to offer contrasting and complementary versions of tango as song: operatic diva Carla López Speziale and tango diva Diana López, with piano accompaniment and arrangements by renowned Latin music authority Pablo Zinger.

Bring your family and meet your friends to listen, dance, and enjoy an afternoon community concert of tango music!  Reception with light snacks and beverages following the performance.  Proceeds benefit Good Shepherd School
