Christmas is upon us and inspires people all over Belgium to organize special Christmas milongas. Let’s give you an overview:

This weekend I was invited by Tristan from Tango De Carmen to visit an special milonga: in the Roma, a beautiful renovated old cinema from 1928, with the excellent quartet Tanguarda from Rotterdam and with live performances of Geraldine Rojas and Ezequiel Paludi, tango superstars.
