Here are some photos from the free outdoor concert at the Yerba Buena Gardens Festival – our last US performance before leaving on a three-month Argentine tour. Thank you to all the friends who joined us!
For this gig the Tango Passions Band included: Murray Low on piano, John Wiitala on double-bass, Myron Cohen on drums, Isabel Douglas on accordion, Kevin Footer on harmonica and myself on vocals and guitar.
We were joined by two fabulous dancers: Gustavo and Jesica Hornos’s who danced on “Cornisas del Corazon” and “Vuelvo al Sur”. We had some spontaneous dancers who surprised us by coming out of the audience: Jose Maria Francos (the Argentine Technical director of the Yerba Buena Gardens Center for the Arts) who danced a chacarera with a friend.
Thanks to Linda Lucero for her enthusiastic support.
Winner of the Gardel Prize, a Latin Grammy nominee and member of the Tango Hall of Fame, María Volonté is an Argentine singer, guitarist and composer celebrated for the intense emotion and beauty of her songs as well as for her charisma and sensuality on stage. 
Ms. Volonté,
I came upon your performance at the Yerba Buena Gardens Festival in San Francisco this last Thursday October 1, 2009 after leaving SF MOMA. We got a
chance to sit on the grass and enjoy the last few numbers you and your group
entertained us with. I didn’t get many pictures because I only took some at
the end of the show and visibility issues. I could not figure out how to attach the images so I made a web link for your eyes only – unless you would like me to publish it as my “Photos of the Day”.
Here is the link you can cut and paste:
