Live Tango Duo & Milongas in Santurtzi
There will be an opportunity to hear the magnificent voice of Jimena González accompanied by Fernando Herrero on piano. They will play a full set of tangos in Plaza Juan José Mendiazabal in the center of Santurtzi on Friday and Saturday at our free tango gatherings. All the tangos are danceable, so don't forget your dancing shoes – it's a true street milonga! On Thursday, Christina Gómez and Borja Alkalde Sainz will dance, and there will be a DJ to provide the perfect atmosphere for a lively street milonga.
La Argenta is comprised of five seasoned musicians. The director, Fernando Herrera, on piano and voice, has spent his entire adult life playing in blues, rock and jazz bands and tango orchestras. La Argenta is his new group, focused on danceable tangos.
The formidable singer Jimena Gonzalez fills the stage with her presence and moving voice, along with Miguel Rodrigañez on double bass, Daniel Hurtado on violin, and Ivan Montero on bandoneon.
