Mercè 2015: First milonga of La Mercè

In a year when Buenos Aires is the guest city of La Mercè, there had to be an event with tango dancers and live music where the public are also invited to dance. Tango schools and teachers in Barcelona and surrounding areas are joining in on the fun, where you'll also be able to watch professional dancers, among them the winners of the Buenos Aires Tango World Championships. In charge of the live music is the Quinteto La Típica Barcelona, directed by bandoneon player and composer Marcelo Mercadante, who will be accompanied by Analía Carril (vocals), Olvido Lanza (violin), Emiliano Roca (double bass) and Irene Aisemberg (piano). Between numbers, enjoy the music of DJ Pablo Maidanik, who organises one of Barcelona's biggest milongas, La Bien Pulenta.
