FORTHCOMING EVENT ON TUESDAY 6 JULY:  Special Evening at the AGH Cafeteria on Tuesday 6 July at 19:30

PARIS-BUENOS AIRES, VIA TANGO by the Eduardo Contizanetti Trio  & Marzia Postogna accompanied by a Special MEDITERRANEAN Dinner. An unforgettable evening with famous tango music by Gardel, Piazzolla, Cobian, Troilo, classical pieces of the French chanson and compositions by lead guitarist Eduardo Contizanetti. This exciting musical repertoire takes us to the charming Parisian atmosphere as well as that of the portenie (related to the port city of Buenos Aires). The songs are filled with infinite poetry and, despite the fact that they originate in such different cities (that are, in any case tied to the tango tradition and its artists), they remain magically alike.

Musicians: Eduardo Contizanetti (guitar), Daniel Pacitti (bandoneon), Massimo de Stephanis (double bass) and 

Marzia Postogna (vocalist)
