Cerronato

Esquina Tango

January 27th

Esquina Tango Cultural Society Center

Esquina Tango continues their concert series with Colombian vallenato and cumbia band Cerronato. The group plays a one-night concert and dance on Friday, January 27th, at Esquina Tango headquarters.

Cerronato fuses rich four-part harmonies, ornate and funky accordion and bass, and frenzied percussion in a joyous yet poignant mix. Their inspiration comes from Colombian vallenato and cumbia, two old musical traditions that have spread far from their original homeland.

Based in Austin, the four members of Cerronato are ambassadors for those archetypal Colombian styles through their lively performances and fervent commitment to the spirit of celebration animating them. A century after vallenato and cumbia emerged out of Colombia’s cultural cauldron of indigenous, Spanish, and African cultures, Cerronato continues to combine respect for the heritage and the impulse to innovate.

Esquina Tango Cultural Society of Austin is a non-profit group striving to build a vibrant and diverse community in East Austin - and beyond. Through culture, health, and dance - with an emphasis on Latino heritage, recreational tango and other Argentine traditions - the group hopes to foster personal wellness and promote understanding of Latino culture.

The concert and dance plays 9 p.m. until 1 a.m. Tickets are $8 at the door.

Esquina Tango is located at 209 Pedernales Street.
