All together, they made the night an unforgettable event for all of those who know how to enjoy the magic of New York City. The admission for this concert was free of charge like all the other shows held at the Consulate, so stay alert for upcoming shows! (You can check the Consulate's agenda HERE). Also, usually after the shows end, there is an intimate gathering with exquisite Argentinian wine for the artists and the audience to enjoy. The perfect way to end a magical night!
