Tango Jam Session:

During the Tango Your Way to Purdue Festival, Homer Ladas and Korey Ireland plan on jamming on tango music (practicing most likely on Friday 4/18 afternoon) but also on animating a live-band music milonga (on sunday evening 4/20).

Korey Ireland is a well-known Tango musician in addition of being a Tango instructor. Here is his musical webpage:

The other instructor, Homer Ladas, also creating a tango jamming band in San Francisco. More information on:
http://www.organictangosf.info/musicjam_SF.htm

Basically, the idea is to gather these two instructors with any local (amateur or not) musicians who would have the guts :) to jam tango music with them and practice in public for a dancing event. Korey will be playing on his bandoneon. Mila, his partner, will be singing. Homer can play a double bass (I don't know yet if he can bring his instrument). If you know how to play piano, keyboard, cello, violin, electric guitar, acoustic guitar (and you can get the instrument) or if you can sing and you are interested by the project, please contact Dorothee dbouquet@purdue.edu!

Arrival Information:

* If you fly: The two nearest major airports are in Indianapolis and Chicago. We are 60 miles north of Indianapolis and 120 miles south of Chicago. There is a bus service from each of these airports to reach West Lafayette. The URLs for the two bus services are:

Lafayette Limo is the name of bus service from Indianapolis to West Lafayette while the Express Air Coach runs between O'Hare airport Chicago and West Lafayette. Ask the drivers to drop you off at the "Purdue Memorial Union" stop. Purdue Memorial Union is like the heart of the campus.
