​On Saturday we welcome the musicians of Fabrizio Colombo 7eto and the singer Sandra Rumolino. Fabrizio Colombo 7eto is a Tango Nuevo septet from Paris, with Argentine and French members. They will play short solo recitals during the day and in the evening present their upcoming album. The Argentine ambassador to Norway, Claudio Giacomino, will speak about the history of tango, and professor Sébastien Liautaud will talk about Paris in Gardel’s time. We will show clips of Gardel singing, from Argentina’s first sound film. Earlier in the day, alongside the exhibition spaces, there will be activities for families and children, including an food workshop.
