Café de los Maestros on Friday!

Friday is really close and here at the Barbican we are all really excited about welcoming the legendary Café de los Maestros at their UK debut.

Café de los Maestros is a loving showcase for the remaining stars of Argentinean tango from the 1940s and 1950s, just before the dramatic reinventions of Astor Piazzolla.

Their contribution to the glorious history of Argentinean tango has been immense through the decades, and also our friend Arlene recommends this event in her London Tango Pages, which is basically the bible for any tangueros in London.

Come to the Barbican for a mesmerizing night of authentic tango, and keep checking Arlene's blog for future tango events all over London.

“UK debut of this twenty piece orchestra from Buenos Aires, assembled by Gustavo Santaolalla (leader of Bajofondo Tango Club) and Gustavo Mozzi, performing a repertoire of tango from the 1940s and 1950s.”

Also, don’t miss Tanguarda performing on the freestage from 7pm…
