We are delighted to welcome back the sensational Leo Power for one night only, presenting : Tangolé — an exciting fusion of Argentine folk and flamenco.
Tangolé
Leo Power, a flamenco singer from Cadiz and a connoisseur of various musical cultures, felt the urge to bring Argentine folklore to life through a flamenco show. In London, she met Ignacio Lusardi, an Argentine musician, producer, and flamenco enthusiast, and Victor Ramos ("El Chuli"), a flamenco dancer and musician from Málaga who also plays the accordion. With them, she was finally able to bring to life an idea that had been on her mind for years: TANGOLÉ, a cultural melting pot of Spanish guitar, flamenco voice, flamenco dance, and accordion.
In this intimate show, you’ll experience a cultural dialogue between flamenco and Argentine folklore — through the rhythm of the Spanish guitar, the soul of the flamenco voice, the strength of the dance, and the evocative melodies of the accordion.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see these wonderful artists unite on the London stage for a bold new flamenco journey.

Notes on venue and seating arrangements
The show is performed in our ground-floor Performance Studio. This space has hosted numerous famous Flamenco artists from both the UK and Spain over the last 6 years. The studio provides a small, extremely intimate venue, where you are only a few feet away from the performers. There is a capacity of 55 people. The room has a professional sound system and stage lighting. No food allowed in the studio.
As this is a multi-use performance space there is no raised stage, nor tiered seating. Simple chairs are laid out on the day to best suit the number who have booked to attend. The arrangement is usually in a U shape around the artists who perform in the central space, providing views from 3 directions..
Seats are not numbered or pre-allocated. We can only reserve seating on the front rows for those who notify us in advance that they have a disability or special access requirment Once we open the doors to the Studio, the audience enters in a line and everybody finds their preferred seat from those available. Please, however, be sympathetic to those with the greatest need to have a seat of their choice.
Coats and bags can be left in a temporary cloakroom upstairs, but note this room is not secure or monitored during the show, and valuables should not be left there.
Have a drink too!
Entrance to the show is via our on-site Tapas Bar, La Bodega, which will be open for drinks, from 6pm to 10.30pm. We serve a wide range of Spanish wines, beers, spirits and cocktails from across Spain and Latin America, as well as soft drinks. Interval drinks can be pre-ordered at the bar before the show, to avoid the rush.
