FRIDAY MAY 2, 2008 from 9pm-2am
What better occasion to celebrate MAY 1 and NATIONAL DANCE WEEK than bring together the spirit and passion of young musicians playing Argentine Tangos?
Tango Revolution musicians showcase their skill and enthusiasm for playing Golden Era and Nuevo Tangos for listening and dancing with renowned Quartet San Francisco’s guest musician Jeremy Cohen. In 2004 Quartet SF won the International Tango Competition in NYC and Cohen mentored the musicians with his expertise. Together with Abraham Becker and Pablo Motta (who also coached the musicians)Jeremy toured with the famed Forever Tango show.
Since 10 months, during the weekly Sunday Tango event at Caffe Trieste, a group of rotating musicians has committed itself to learning to play Argentine Tangos for dancing.
Come out to witness this budding revival of Live Tango Music for dancing and listen, watch or join in the dance!
Enjoy delicious tapas or wine and dine in style to the sultry sounds of Argentine Tango!
9-10pm Introductory dance class
10-11pm Tango Revolution musicians in concert with Jeremy Cohen and invited guests
11pm – 2am Tango Dance Party (Milonga) with live music and special performance.

Tango Revolution is a weekly neighborhood educational project to offer anyone the opportunity to learn and experience the social aspect of Argentine Tango dance, music and history. By holding the event in an accessible café on a Sunday afternoon we encourage the spontaneous inclusion of music and dance in our everyday life as a communal experience.
Tango Revolution is a program of Intimate Embrace Tango, which envisions Argentine Tango as a relational matrix of connection to ourselves, each other and the world. We organize classes,workshops, cultural, social awareness-and fundraising events around critical issues of our time.
Come take a beginning Tango class or practice your dance in a relaxing, non-intimidating atmosphere. Non-dancers can watch the moves and immerse themselves in the beautiful Tango music. We extend an open invitation to aspiring Tango musicians to jam together and practice their skills with the dancers in a receptive and energetic environment.
We hope that Tango Revolution is a fertile ground for learning about Argentine Tango, a dance and music of immigrants, which continues to cross the boundaries of race, culture, language and social status. Where both beginning and accomplished dancers and musicians can share the floor without obvious hierarchy. Where all gender pairings are encouraged and anyone may ask anyone to dance.
We offer the beautiful connection between human beings in the Tango Embrace as a common ground and antidote against the isolation, separation and fearful existence we are led to believe is necessary. What better way to come home to ourselves and to connect with each other across our differences than the non-verbal power of a musical and dance embrace, listening and moving together as one?
Come watch, listen or join in the dance! All levels and ages are welcome. No partner or dance experience necessary.

SUNDAY DECEMBER 2
from 5:30-9:30pm
Caffé Trieste Downtown
1667 Market Street @ Gough, (one block from Van Ness) in SF
$5 suggested at door
Event Schedule:
5:30pm Doors open w/Live Tango music
6-7pm Beginners Tango dance class by Sonja Riket (Best Tango Teacher 7x7Mag. 2006)
7:15-8:15pm Performance by Ryan Avery- violin- and Tango Revolution musicians

More details:
Violinists play concertos, not breakbeat electronica. But Chance's End, led by classically-trained San Francisco violinist Ryan Avery, is about to change that. Influenced by artists such as Groove Armada, Gotan Project, and Vanessa-Mae, Chance's End is fusing solo violin with electronic music, bringing the instrument well into the 21st century.
Ryan formed Chance's End in the summer of 2000 in his hometown of Boulder, Colorado before moving to San Francisco, California where he collaborates with Tango Revolution events. His sound is built around acoustic and electric violin, infused with strong melodic hooks, and polished with a thick sonic texture of breakbeat electronica. With Chance's End new album "The Outsider", the violin stands front and center of a gorgeous downtempo electronica landscape, creating a unique web of lush melodies and electronic beats.
His new album once again brings violin electronica to the masses, and its unique style is bound to turn some heads.

8-9:30pm Yee-Rodriguez Duo and Friends Tango Jam with Open Floor Dancing and "Historia" CD Release Signing (CD available at $15)
Thomas and Jose’s friendship and musical partnership is a great example of how the power of the arts can bridge the differences between two very distinct cultures, one Korean and one Mexican.
They met during their studies at the SF Conservatory of Music and between them have won several awards, scholarships and competitions. Their talent and musical tastes brought together a dynamic and close collaboration during many recitals and concerts after their Master Degree graduation. Their debut CD reflects a culmination of their work together: a program of Tangos. Spanish dances, folk dances and jazz standards as a mark of “Historia” in their careers. As professional musicians they play with many symphonies and orchestras throughout California and have collaborated several times with Tango Revolution events. Their performance is infectious and undoubtedly will stir you to dance. Come out to support the debut CD of these talented musicians and be prepared to have a VERY good time at Tango Revolution!
