Suddenly, before you even realize it, the members of the musical Revue Tulsa Tango will be dancing among the crowd. It may be that you’ve never danced tango but you’ll love the sensual air from “Buenos Aires” coming to Tulsa from the South.
Without a pause between all the fun, next will come Brujo Roots, a “Latin funk fusion” group from Tulsa, who bring an exquisite blend of samba, blues, jazz, and reggae for all to enjoy.
Next there will be a break in the entertainment to give scholarships to two super students, courtesy of Festival Americas’ generous sponsors.

And finally, the closing act will be Navarro y Su Potencia Musical.
