We are a small group of friends who have banded together through Canada's unique refugee sponsorship program to help a young Afghan couple. They've been separated for nearly ten years, and—with your help—we have sponsored them to reunite and build a life in Canada! We appreciate any contributions to this fund. Your donation will help cover their expenses including rent, household items, and clothing for their new life in Canada.

AMARRAS TANGO
8.00
Amarras is a quintet playing contemporary argentine tango. Formed in 2018, Amarras strives for a musical aesthetic that is dark, intense, and transformative. The music of contemporary tango is a music of resistance, and should resonate as closely with those listening in bars as those listening in chamber halls, or perhaps more so. It strives to move people, to be uncomfortable, to be bold. It is not pleasant music, though it is beautiful. It is not easy music, though it is accessible. It avoids cliché and trope, while still deriving power from a genre that is laced with both. It is explorative, challenging, and intrepid. It is unexpected. It is urban. It is loud. It is visceral. It hopes to re-awaken motivic polyphonic chamber music as a popular music, suitable for street corners, engendering shouts instead of polite applause, and addressing themes relevant to this moment, including but not limited to communities organizing to resist cultural hegemony.
