The Panther Tango Club welcomes Folias and Tangueros de Ley for the Twilight Milonga, this Sunday, July 17, 7:30-10pm.  FOLIAS comprises flutist Carmen Maret and guitarist Andrew Bergeron, a tango duo from Michigan who have performed in several tango cities throughout the U.S. "Folias" are melodic progressions that originated in a
16th-century song and dance form.  The use of the name Folias expresses the relationship to the music they play - mixing song and dance, combining composition and improvisation.  Their recent CD is entitled "Tangos Metamorphoses".
TANGUEROS DE LEY is Pittsburgh's own tango ensemble. They will be coming out with their first CD this fall. Donation of $10.  Location is the Bigelow Patio,
across from the Cathedral of Learning (corner of Bigelow and Forbes).
