synopsis:
Fernando Ríos Palacio is an elderly and distinguished gentleman and a recognized international Tango celebrity. Heir to the original style of Carlos Gardel and early star in Argentina in the 60s and 70s, Fernando came to Barcelona in 1973 for a tour that was supposed to last a few weeks. And he ended up staying all his life. At 87 years old, he continues to take to the stages of the city with incredible energy and embodies the living memory of Barcelona as the third country of tango, without ever forgetting his land of origin.

A short concert by Fernando Rios Palacio, Guillermo Gomez Alvarez and Dario Polonara will follow.
