The Patio is getting a good reputation for live tango concerts. Last week’s performance of the Alejandro Ziegler Quartet was a good example of why that is. With piano, double bass, violin and bandoneon, they played immaculate versions of famous tango songs. Not only that, once the first two numbers were over and the audience […]
