Description
Kirkland Fine Arts Center celebrates Hispanic American Heritage Month with the award-winning show, Tango Del Cielo, on Saturday, October 15 at 7:30pm. Based in San Francisco, Tango Del Cielo is a unique theatrical performance that features a fusion of Latin styles including Tango, Flamenco, Spanish Classical and Latin Jazz. The performance includes live musicians and dancers, as well as film, art, lighting and effects in homage to the silent film era.
Anna Maria Mendieta, the founder, artistic director and harpist of Tango Del Cielo, has toured the world and performed for Pope Benedict XVI, President Clinton, President Gorbachev and the King & Queen of Spain. Tango Del Cielo not only showcases Latin music and dance but is an homage to Mendieta’s own heritage; she is the great-niece of Nita Naldi, the 1920s movie star of the silent screen and frequent costar with Rudolph Valentino.
