Carlos Gardel led off, and then Tango Capital went to Tango In the Spring, the gala tango event held in Canberra every two years. The concert by Nestor Vaz and Emily-Rose Sarkova is reviewed, and TISP DJs Jarny Choi and Pat Petronio share some of their favourite music to dance to.
The image shows the lovely parquet floor of the Albert Hall. This is one of the iconic Federation buildings of Canberra, and was home for TISP this year.
