Starlight Milonga 8.26.21

At the Independent Media Center, Urbana, Illinois

This Thursday night performance in the alley between the IMC and Lincoln Square Mall in Urbana was the result of a large group of volunteers. It was also the event that brought Bandoneon Massacre out of its pandemic hibernation.

We blended members of two orchestras — Tamango (Bloomington, Indiana) and Bandoneon Massacre (Urbana, Illinois) — with special guest Hugo Satorre (visiting maestro from Buenos Aires).
