TangoFest: Monday - Day Pass
Expect exciting music, films and talks, with a focus on French-Argentine singer-songwriter and composer Carlos Gardel
As the festival’s finale: dance from different angles! Tango Abrazo hosts a milonga, preceded by a talk on gender roles in tango and a screening of Tango Bar – featuring the scene where Gardel himself dances. Folkemusikklubben Columbi Egg joins us, bringing together a supergroup of Norwegian tango musicians.
