On Saturday, the festivities moved to the Maison Pour Tous with an afternoon milonga hosted by DJ Clarita Tralala, followed by the grand evening milonga featuring the Ensemble Hyperion, an internationally renowned Argentine tango orchestra founded in 1992 with over 1,200 concerts across four continents. DJ Jean-François completed the musical program for this festive evening.
Sunday offered a rhythm workshop led by professional percussionist Christian Rollet, accompanied by a convivial brunch, before a final afternoon milonga with the Orchestre des Ateliers des Arts from the Puy-en-Velay conservatory and DJ Brigitte, beautifully closing this first tango weekend.
