We've known and loved Diego Lanau as a master instructor for over 20 years, and he brings his fun, friendly, and exquisite teaching style along with his long-time partner Alejandra Saravia.
We are lucky to host Diego and Ale yet again at Empanada Milonga while on tour in the Bay Area...Sunday August 9 at the start of their tour, and Sunday October 11 at the end.
In his 20's, Diego won the Buenos Aires title milonga, and over the years and taught and influenced hundreds of new and advanced tango dancers, in his clear and masterful styles.
Please join us in welcoming back these to great Argentine tango maestreos!!!
2:30-6:30 EMPANADA MILONGA with Live Tango Music by ORQUESTA Z TRIO,
plus our great DJ THOMAS JABUSCH
Part of our mission is to present the best of live tango music when available.
Orquesta Z was with Empanada Milonga at its very founding 13 years ago, and has delighted tango dancers for over 40 performances here and throughout the Bay Area, playing its unique versions of classical, alternative, and original tangos.
Last February, OZ3 (the Trio version of Orquesta Z) performed a set of Piazzolla tangos, and we were requested to play more...so we are adding two tandas of Piazzolla, as well as many of our dancers' favorites. This month, for fun, we are adding the premiere of a brand new tango based on Ben's adventures in Mykonos when he was 24 years old and met the love of his life! Ahhh....tango.
Back by popular demand is our DJ Thomas Jabusch. We met him over 15 years as a the popular DJ at the famed Cell Space in San Francsico, and since moving to Sacramento with his family, has been a fixture in the Sacramento area and beyond (such as his recent stint at Burnng Tango).
We enticed Thomas and his lovely wife Lee Yee to come down to Berkeley and you'll love his selection of largely traditional tango with his mix of alternative.
