Tango Cafe - Michael Lavocah talk on Canaro and milonga

We will have the great pleasure of hosting tango music guru Michael Lavocah at Tango Cafe on 24th September for one of his delightful talks and a spot of DJ-ing. Michael will present the extraordinary career of Francisco Canaro. In a recording career spanning almost 50 years Canaro cut an astonishing 3,800 tracks - more than the "Big Four" orchestras combined. How did he manage it?! How did he rise to the very top of the musical scene, and what then brought him close to ruin? And which periods of that long career have the most to offer us today? All this and more in Michael's captivating audiovisual presentation. --- Programme 2-4pm Michael's Canaro talk 4-8pm Milonga with DJs Michael and Katerina Prices Talk and milonga: Advance £20 - book and pay in advance At the door £25 Milonga only £12 To book message Katerina on 07555194309 or [email protected] ---- Covid precautions Please don’t come if you have cold / possible covid symptoms. --- Food and drink The cafe is open on Saturdays until 6pm. We will provide water for the duration. We are keen on reducing waste so would really appreciate if you can bring your own water bottle, which can be refilled at the venue (we have single use cups too but hoping not to use many). If you are after a pre or post milonga meal, you will be spoiled for choice with a fine selection of bars and restaurants on both Battersea Rise and Northcote Road. --- Travel Clapham Junction is an easy 5-minute walk away. Take the St John’s Hill exit. Lots of bus routes too, including some stopping outside the venue. If you drive, the venue is outside the congestion charge zone and outside ULEZ (but the ULEZ starts immediately north of it so take care). Parking is pay and display until 5:30 and free afterwards (or free all day if you are prepared to walk 10 mins to the adjacent parking zones - please see separate pinned post on parking with an annotated map). Hope the above is useful and we really look forward to welcoming you!
