Hello Melbourne!
We present our new Solidarity Practilonga
A series of pop-up creative collaborations between Elena and Marce to gather funds to support indigenous communities both in South America and Australia. Our first milonga will be held on the 13th March. We will be pleased to perform for you and also provide you with a lovely atmosphere and delightful music played by DJ Jose.
The school we are supporting is called Awalayuu Kiteschool. The school was founded 3 years ago by two Wayuus brothers who are passionate about kite surf. Their mission is to share their knowledge and space with the disadvantaged kids in the area. With this event we will help them get equipment of kids size so that they can learn more easily and comfortably. Awalayu’u is currently a point of reference of free kite learning for local children and are taking this opportunity to support them and encourage these kids with an activity that is fun and distracting from the well known challenges of the area.
