Please note: Milonga Pasional and its team has moved for this Saturday only to this great venue.
An emotional, eye-catching show where elegance, sweetness, charm, gracefulness and high energy are expressed in the passionate Tangos, the magic of Argentine Zamba and uplifting Chacarera, the Fantasía de Bombo, the breath-taking Boleadoras, and more by Argentine professional dancers and performers Diego Ledesma & Beatríz Peralta.
Diego was born and raised in Santiago del Estero between Malambos de Bombo and Chacareras, in a traditional family, faithful to their Music and Dance customs.
Santiago del Estero also called "Mother of cities" for being the oldest city in Argentina and "The crib of folklore" because it is where the chacarera was born.
Beatriz "Bety" grew up in San Luis between "Tonadas" and "Gatos Cuyanos", in a traditional family of the Sierras Puntanas.
They took part at the Festival "The March of the Strings and the March of the Bombos" in Santiago del Estero and the National Festival "Cosquin" in Córdoba.
In 2017 they toured Bolivia with their show "Esencia Argentina", which was very well received by the public.
In 2018 they came on their first European Tour, participated in the very special Argentine Tango & Folklore London Music Festival and now premiere "Esencia Argentina" in the UK.
Following their unforgettable performances at the opening of the 2018 Argentine Tango & Folklore London Music Festival, and the triple concert with Los Milonguitas & La Juan D'arienzo, they are back for another production by Tangueando.
Tangueando School of Argentine Tango organizes this concert in Great Dunmow at the Foakes Hall.
