PRESENTACION DE LA 9ª CUMBRE MUNDIAL DEL TANGO

This Friday at 6.15 PM, the ninth Tango world summit will be presented at the Meeting Point. It will be carried out on July 2011, in the Finish city of Seinajo. Its creator and promoter, the Argentine settled in Granada (Spain) Horacio Rébora and the coordinator for South America, Diego Rivarola, will give advance notice of the 2011 edition's contents. It is presented under the slogan "From Seinajoki, tango summons crowds". The summit is a biennial event that already has been held in Buenos Aires, Granada, Montevideo, Lisboa, Rosario, Sevilla, Valparaíso (here is a picture of 2007 edition, held in the famous stage of Festival de Viña del Mar) and Bariloche.

According to their web page, the summit will be held in a very particular time of the year in Finland: there is daylight until midnight and the great yearly festival of Tangomarkinat takes place. Every day artistic delegations from the participant cities will be presenting their works, with a special focus on local tango. Moreover, many parallel activities will be carried out, among them: dance parties, urban animations, exhibitions, film series and a large thematic fair.
