We are so happy to be back in the Berkeley City Club ballroom, with its beautiful wooden floor. This is a milonga (tango social dance). We welcome dancers and listeners. All genders are welcome to lead or follow. The band’s sets begin at 7:45 and 9:15 pm. To enter the building, ring the bell and say “tango!”
Proof of vaccination and ID required. Masks are required in the lobby, the hallways, and the ballroom.
Drinks and hors d’ouvres are offered for sale in the bar, which is down the hall from the ballroom. You can enjoy them in the bar or in the Venetian room–not in the ballroom. Don’t worry, you can hear the music in the Venetian room too! (Cards are accepted for refreshments.)
The music of Los Tangueros del Oeste is steeped in the nuevo tango styles of Astor Piazzolla, Gotan Project and Bajofondo. Focusing on original compositions, the group blends beats and textures from Hip-Hop and Electronica with Flamenco influences filtered through an improvisational lens. Their singular nuevo tango sound is cool, impassioned, sensuous, seductive and utterly dance-inducing.
