Tango in Belgie / Tango en Belgique
Two years ago, Gustavo Santaolalla, of Bajofondo Tango Club fame, created a real labour of love: he invited a number of ‘old’ tango musicians (from the ’40 – ’50 era) and re-recorded them together. The result was a splendid record called “Café de los Maestros” and with it goes a making-of movie of the same name, that is quite exceptional too. Now there is also the orchestra of the maestros, and they come to Brussels!

Brussels just had its first Tango Marathon (it was a success) and right after that, as if it’s never enough, there was the normal Tangueria milonga. As it turned out, there really is no such thing as enough.

On Sunday Oct 3, Nosotros organizes a special fundraiser event “Tango Solidario” for a very noble cause: buying instruments so a group a of talented Argentinian kids can continue a musical training that gives them opportunities, pride and dignity.
The goal of the evening of 3 / 10 will be to raise funds for Orchestra School Ingeniero White, in the poor village of Bahía Blanca, Argentina. Since 2008, the school cares for children at the end of their school day. So they keep them away from the dangers of the streets: drugs, prostitution, delinquency, abandonment… The children first learn how to play an instrument, in a methodical and friendly way, and then to play classical music in an orchestra. They receive quality training that could help them in the professional world. By playing, they construct golden wings for the future. By receiving respect and meeting other children, they learn to return the respect and friendliness.
The event starts at 7PM, the DJ is Mala (Nina) and the dress code is ‘elegant’ – which means: make an effort 
The organisers promise that the evening will be filled with surprises!
And you can find over 200 courses, for beginners up to experts, from Flanders, Brussels and Wallonie:
