Modesto Tango Bulletin, Oct. 13, 2014 
There was absolutely something magical about our evening of dancing to the music of the Redwood Tango Ensemble.  As much competition as we had with local dance groups and regularly scheduled milongas around the area, we pretty well filled up the back room of Jacobs with a balance of dancers and listeners who had not encountered Argentine Tango music before. The evening was a good one for Modesto Tango, the Redwood Tango Ensemble and Jacobs. May those of you who have had your first taste of Argentine Tango, not let it end there.

Members of the Redwood Tango Ensemble setting up for their next tanda.
