Maxi Larrea Trio ft. Teresa Tam: Argentine Tango & Folklore

The Maxi Larrea Trio is an exciting new Argentine tango project in the Bay Area, led by Argentine guitarist Maxi Larrea. Drawing together original and new arrangements, they present an exciting selection of Argentine tangos, waltzes, milongas, and folklore repertoire. With rich melodies and syncopated rhythms dancing between guitar, bandoneon, and piano, they carry listeners through different emotional textures and climates, interspersing occasional duos into the trio repertoire to change the mood and add dynamics. Joining the trio for the evening is special guest singer Teresa Tam.
