Latin Grammy® Celebration Milonga

Latin Grammy® Celebration Milonga

We are in full-on celebration mode because our record label, Bochinche Records, is nominated for a Latin Grammy® Award for “Best Tango Album,” for our 2024 release by Sexteto Fantasma, La inevitable tentacion de ir a contramano. Two members of Sexteto Fantasma are traveling to the U.S. for the award ceremony and we are adding a special milonga to celebrate them. Please join us for a night of live music and fun on Friday, November 7.

8-9 pm: Pre-Milonga Class on MILONGA - Ignacio & Meredith
9 pm-1 am: Milonga Qilombo with DJ Andres, and featuring LIVE MUSIC by Guido & Rodrigo of Sexteto Fantasma

To get ready, you can check out this beautiful concert that Guido & Rodrigo performed as part of our Tango en la Terraza, during the pandemic shutdown.

Pre-registration is now closed, but you are welcome to pay at the door:
Class + Milonga: $45
Milonga only: $35

Parking advice:

  • As our neighborhood has become more and more popular, parking has definitely gotten harder.
  • On Wednesday nights, we recommend parking near the Hackett School.
  • On weekends, there may be less parking around the school. If you ever truly can’t find street parking, please consider parking for FREE in the parking lot at Rivers Casino and taking a $7-10 uber up Frankford Ave. When you’re ready to leave, we’ll help you find someone to drive you back to your car.
  • Another option is the paid parking lot at 1334 N. Front which is .7 miles from PATS.
