Tango Capital returns to play the fourth Sunday of the month broadcasting a milonguita playlist for dancers. That’s this Sunday on Tango Capital, 7:00pm to 8:00pm:
This edition explores further the many orquestas and smaller ensembles that have sprung up in Buenos Aires this century. Often made up of highly trained young musicians, sadly these ensembles do not generally have a long life span, but they bring the original tone of live tango back to the milongas while they flourish. That’s this Sunday on Tango Capital, 7:00pm to 8:00pm:
