Who said there's no wind on the Moon?
In November 2016, scientists from all over the world observed a strange fenomenon around the well-known satellite. During 3 full days, the Moon exhaled an unusual wind of subtle emotions that could be felt on Earth by the most sensitive people.
While the international scientific community is still in doubt and searching for a rational explanation of such an anomaly, the Otra Luna Team decided to reiterate its Marathon to reveal its possible correlation with the Moon breathing new moods into our hearts at that time.
So will you dare to set sail with us? And maybe someday you could tell your grandchildren how you've been involved in the most beautiful discovery of the very beginning of the 21st century.

Originally built in 1930 by the Chambre Syndicale Typographique Parisienne in 1937 in order to hold its general meetings, this room was, perhaps presciently, inaugurated by the Colonne Orchestra in 1937.
Later, the firm Philips settled there during 50 years to record the great names of French song : Jacques Brel (Ne me quitte pas), Serge Gainsbourg (Le poinçonneur des Lilas), Barbara (Göttingen) Juliette Greco (La javanaise) and so many others.
For 3 days, the Otra Luna will come down on this beautiful place and we hope you'll be here to experiment its effect on your tango.

Libon has adopted him now ! He doesn't need much introduction : a tango-globetrotter, he's a tango addict, just like us. Augusto "Ag Tango" Gemelli will cook us dinners, brunches and a few surprises to keep our energy up, all along our moonlit journey through tango.
This year we'll have a bar with a selection of alcoholic beverages,
mostly organic or from an eco-friendly production.
