Join us as Azul brings back Tangos for the summer, and takes us through the history of of the genre with guest artists: Aaron Prado, George Prado, Dan Carillo and more.

Tango music is a passionate, romantic, and captivating style of music that has its origins in Argentina and Uruguay. Azul Barrientos is a musician dedicated to observing and conserving the cultural influences and interconnections between Latin America, Africa, Europe, and Mexico.

Born in Mexico City, Azul was introduced to Latin America’s traditional and folkloric songs at an early age. This legacy drives her passion for reviving lost cultural traditions and sharing each song’s unique history.Azul moved to San Antonio as a young woman, developing a reputation as a bridge-builder between Mexicana and Chicana cultures. She rejoices in her Latina roots, giving new life to the rhythms and stories of previous generations.
