Location: Hendershot's Coffee Bar 237 Prince Ave, Athens, Georgia 30601 List-Post: tango-a@mit.edu Date: May 2nd Time: 7:30pm Athens Tango Project begins at 8pm Mary Sigalas (Jazz) <https://www.facebook.com/MarySigalasMusic> Mary Sigalas re-imagines the classic jazz/blues from the 1920's through the 1950's with the deeply personal depth of a contemporary alternative artist. Into the performance of classics, Mary weaves originals that meld her love of jazz and international flavors with her unforgettable vocals. Soulful and bluesy, smooth and sensitive are all common descriptive words for Sigalas’s delivery. Athens Tango Project <https://www.facebook.com/athenstangoproject> Athens Tango Project is a local group committed to bringing Argentine tango music to the northern hemisphere. Laura Camacho, a veteran of the tango music scene of Buenos Aires, came to Athens, Georgia to study upright bass. She quickly found there to be a lack of tango music in the Classic City. She eventually assembled a group consisting of the vocal talents of Ricardo Hurado, piano (Fernando Deddos), percussion(John Phillips), violin(Serena Scibelli), and of course, her native bass. The result is the Athens Tango Project, a delightfully different trip to another part of the world. Featuring guest violinist Tereska Grynia.
