TANGO DEL NORTE
Sunday 3.5.
The Finnish trio is celebrating their 15 years of existence with a tour in their original composition: Heikki Hämäläinen (cello), Sami Pirttilahti (bandoneon) and Ville Westergård (piano).
The one-hour-long concert is built around Argentinian tango music. There are both new arrangements and old familiar Argentine & Finnish tango classics and even music of Astor Piazzolla. Tango del Norte will also play a few danceable tandas in the milonga, after the concert.
The concert starts at 17, PLEASE ARRIVE ON TIME!

Friday 1.5.
The trio practices in a brutal concrete neighbourhood in Helsinki and plays mostly their own music with a DIY attitude – but also tango classics.
Musicians: Janne (guitar), Liisa (violin) and Jukka (bandoneón)
