Rhythms of the Heart
Come on a thrilling journey through the songs and dances of Latin America, from some of the most famous tangos by Piazzolla (and others which you’re sure to recognise from films), to mambos, bossa nova and some improvised salsa! In a wonderful program of piano, guitar, voice and a host of South American instruments, let yourself be transported to Argentina, Chile and Brazil by two of Australia’s leading exponents of this music.
