The UNLV Performing Arts Center welcomes Tango Buenos Aires - one of Argentina's great cultural exports - at 8 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 15. Known as the most authentic and uncompromising representative of the tango, the company's dancers are "tapestries of movement laced with proud postures and sensual couplings" (The Washington Post).
Renowned composer and tango director Osvaldo Requena created Tango Buenos Aires for the Jazmines Festival at the famous Buenos Aires cabaret "Michelangelo." The company met with tremendous success and was immediately added to the season of the General San Martin Municipal Theatre.
