“With eyes closed and hands pressed tightly against his chest, Damian Rivero sung out in tones of beauty, passion and lust; what is known to most as the tango. The night began with familiar faces, laughter, and smells of empanadas and hot vino navegado from Chile. As the crowd settled, the lights dimmed and the music roared-Una Noche de Tango Y Romance began.

On the evening of Thursday Feb. 16, around 100 students, professors, family, and friends of all ages and ethnicities packed into the Latino Cultural Center to celebrate the first La Pena of 2006. La Pena, an LCC Thursday series event, takes place every third Thursday of the month at 7:00 p.m. in Lecture Center B2. Rodrigo Carraminana, the director of the Latino Cultural Center, started off the themed evening “Una Noche de Tango Y Romance,” by greeting the crowd and introducing La Pena as, “A night dedicated to Latino music, and cultural awareness.” “
