On February 18, Instituto Cervantes, the official Spanish Government Centre, is offering an evening of live music and dance inspired by the sounds and passion of tango.

The atmosphere of Buenos Aires will be brought to Manchester by British band Frambuesas Tango Quintet who will perform a selection of tango, vals and traditional milongas alongside tango dancers Chris Shields and Belinda Gough.

Frambuesas Tango Quintet is made up of musicians and friends Susannah Simmons (violin), Tom Beer (viola and vocals), Simon Turner (cello), Michael Stone (piano) and Marie Leenhardt (bandoneón).

The event, where the public will be able to dance and participate, will be held in the Main Hall of the Instituto Cervantes in Manchester. To book tickets, email cultman@cervantes.es or call 0161 6614200.
