Close to the green line (St. Mary's on the C train, Fenway on the D, Kenmore on the B), plenty of street and lot parking.

Irish/America/Bar food available until 10pm.  I have eaten there regularly, it is very tasty and modestly priced.

Note: they have Karaoke with my man Kev-Mac Daddy in the front portion of the bar when you walk in, but don't let that scare you... Salsa is in the back room!  Full Bar.  Please check your coat.

THE 2006 BOSTON LATINO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
presents “Subtango: the Spirit of Tango,” “Si sos brujo: una historia del tango,” “Orquesta Típica: Tango or Death,” “Alegrías,” and “Morente sueña la Alhambra” Films about Tango and Flamenco

Boston, MA – The Boston Latino International Film Festival (BLIFF) is pleased to present five documentary films exploring the art and music of tango and flamenco. See below for screening dates and times. Admission for all films is $8.00, except for films screened at Tower Auditorium, where admission is free. For a complete listing of BLIFF 2006 films and for ticket and pass information, please visit www.bliff.org.

The films featured include:

“Orquesta Típica: Tango or Death” 90 mins. / US, Argentina / Dirs: Nicolas & Ivan Entel Twelve guys looking like rockers pushing a piano down the street. Their sound is elaborate but raw. Their music is politically committed while historically linked to counterculture; still, it is a part of a genre more than a hundred years old. This is their story. This is Buenos Aires 2006. Best Documentary, 2006 Beverly Hills Film Festival Screening date: Tuesday, October 24 at 5:30 PM at Tower Auditorium, Mass College of Art (Admission is Free)

“Subtango: the Spirit of Tango” 60 mins. / US, Argentina / Dir: Sofia Vaccaro Even after a century of history, after enshrinement as the national music, after rampant commercialization and packaging for export, the tango still speaks to the Argentine soul. Subtango shows how tango music, dance, art and poetry are an essential part of the emotional expression of regular people, featuring the gamblers, ramblers and barroom prophets of the Buenos Aires night, playing weather-beaten accordions and singing old tangos of heartbreak and resentment. Subtango is a portrait of that world of tango that lies closest to the true meaning of what tango is in Argentina. Official Selection, 2000 XXII International Festival of the New Latin American Cinema, Havana Screening date: Thursday, October 26 at 5 PM at Center for Latino Arts

“Alegrias” 7 mins. / USA / Dir: Jenny Alexander
Q&A with Director Alexander after screening
World Premiere: A flamenco dance performance featuring La Conja (dancer), Juanito Pascual (guitar) and Gonzalo Grau (cajón). – AND – “Morente sueña la Alhambra” (Alhambra Daydreams) 92 mins. / Spain / Dir: José Sánchez Montes Enrique Morente, one of the world’s greatest living flamenco artists, takes us on a musical tour of Spain’s finest monument – Granada’s Alhambra Palace – in a vibrant tribute to Spain’s Andalusian culture, spanning music, dance and architecture.  Seducing both the ear and the eye, Alhambra Daydreams is a unique confluence of a multitude of talents, come together in the romantic heart of Spain. Featuring Enrique and Estrella Morente, Tomatito, Juan Habichuela, Israel Galván and Blanca Li. – Melbourne Film Festival
Screening date: Thursday, October 26 at 6 PM, Center for Latino Arts

“Si sos brujo: una historia de tango” 79 mins. / US, Argentina / Dir: Caroline Neal A young Argentine musician races to find legendary maestros from tango's golden age (now men in their 70's and 80's) to reestablish the lost oral transmission of style before the real secrets of tango disappear forever. Screening date: Sunday, October 29 at 1 PM, Center for Latino Arts

About the Boston Latino International Film Festival:
