About MANDRAGORA TANGO:
Led by bandoneón and accordion player Bob Barnes, Mandrágora Tango is a
collective of tango musicians working the national tango circuit.
Based in Minneapolis, they have a fresh, engaging, danceable sound.
Their repertoire ranges from classic tangos with a touch of the
Mandrágora DNA, to their own unique, very danceable arrangements.

your trunk before you arrive.

2. Park in Liacouras Garage on 15th Street (runs South only) between  
Montgomery and Cecil B. Moore.  Garage is $10 per car and CLOSES AT

balloons and directional signs.
