MOENIA :: Friday, June 29 :: Club Christine
When thinking of Latin Techno-Pop, the first name that comes to mind is MOENIA. The group is comprised of Alfonso Pichardo, keyboardist Jorge Soto and keyboardist/programmer Alexander “Midi” Ortega.
Often compared to New Order, Erasure, OMD, The Cure, and Depeche Mode, MOENIA is popular within the Latin club scene while simultaneously pioneering a darker, more experimental and poetic side of Spanish-language electronica.

TANGO EVENING at J&B Dance Club, June 6
This Wed, June 6, tango practica will be extra special. Former PV resident Nanette Taylor will be back for a visit and plans to join us for the evening. Nanette left PV a number of years ago to learn Argentine tango… or maybe she left and then found tango. I like the first version. After studying in Buenos Aires with the best, Nanette returned to the States and settled near Portland, OR, for access to their large, active tango community.
Old friends of Nanette are welcome to join us on Wed, from 8 – 10 pm at J&B Dancing Club on Francisco Medina Asencio (airport road) near Office Depot. There is no charge, and any tango dancers are welcome to join us on the floor. Nanette will be too busy, I hope, to visit, but you can enjoy watching her dance… and visit later.
