Rendezvous in the Park ALL CONCERTS

Milonga - Thursday, July 14
Milonga is an 8-piece Latin band, playing original material, inspired by the many regional dialects of Musica Latina from places across Latin America, Spain, and the Carribean. Milonga fuses these traditional dance grooves with slight, and sometimes not so slight elements of more contemporary styles like jazz, funk, hiphop, rock & roll and reggae, creating an original vibe that satisfies the craving for a hot new sound, and still manages to pay homage to their ancestral homelands.
Opener: Taarka

Dilana - Friday, July 15
