Alex Momontoff did a great job as DJ last Saturday night.
His milonga was a masterpiece of young, old and eclectic
world dance/tango music. Thank you Alex and Sue for dancing
and supporting the Emporio Milonga. The family, Oteiza
(30 family members) had a 75th wedding celebration that
honored Hugo Oteiza's grandfather and grandmother and
lasted into the milonga. My thanks to the entire family
but especially to Hugo Oteiza for introducing his family
to Emporio Brazilian Cafe.
Also in attendance was Maestro Rene Casarsa and his
wife Chiche. Rene is performing at the University of
St. Thomas again this September 22 at 7:00 pm. Rene has
assembled a wonderful tango quartet for this event.
I will send a separate email later with the details
for his event. This one of my favorite tango events.
I hope to see you there.
On most Saturday evenings, guitarist John Yeh and song
stylist Giselle Duque perform at Emporio. Their Bossa
Nova, Samba and Jazz set is wonderful. I hope you get
a chance to hear them play.
Our next milonga is October 3, 2012. We hope to see
you there.
