Live music, dance exhibition, class, and milonga to the music of world famous El Cachivache.
A full night of music, dance, and delicious food at one of Santa Barbara's most beloved spots: SOhO.
El Cachivache Tango Orkestra will perform. This well-loved band is making their second trip to Santa Barbara. They've revolutionized the sound of tango with their unmistakable “punk” edge. Constantly touring the world, they are one of the most sought-after bands globally.
Lauren Woods will teach a pre-milonga class for anyone who wants to experience the feel of tango. Lauren is an artist with many facets. She has danced many styles, including hip-hop, she is an opera singer, and even performs at a Bourlesque show. Lauren comes to us from Los Angele,where she has built an exciting and thriving dance scene in her Atomic ballroom.
Katherine will join Lauren for a dance exhibition. These two often dance together and are a treat to watch.
There will also be time for dancing to DJ Sara Whipple’s music. Sara is a local tanguera who is well known all over the USA and Buenos Aires where she travels and dances. Her "Taste of Tango Milonga" at Karyla Vineyard in Santa Ynez successfully explores the pairing of tango and wines.
El Cachivache - tango punk band
El Cachivache Orkesta is currently one of the most popular tango groups and is widely recognized on the world music circuit. Sometimes called ‘Tango Punk’, the group is characterized by its undeniably creative, original, and very “danceable ” style. Some call them “modern buffoons”, others describe the music as “communal flat groove”, and both are true. El Cachivache serves up its music in a vigorous manner with a good dose of humor, mixing up overdriven traditional tango music with a post punk look, which simultaneously frightens and attracts the tourists.
Witty song introductions emerged with the music, livening up already energetic performances. The band is very popular in its home city of Buenos Aires, playing around 90 concerts a year. The band was selected to perform at WOMEX19 official showcase In Tampere, Finland in October 2019.
They are presenting now their new album “Corazones Solitarios” 2022
