Sol de Noche plays the tango and folklore of Argentina on guitar, bandoneón, flute and Spanish-language vocals, led by a Buenos Aires native on the iconic bandoneón. Professional tango dancers in costume perform 15 - 20 minute dance blocks to the live music, bringing the romance of Buenos Aires to the Central Terminal.

Four families in Lake Stevens founded the group in 2009 to keep Mexican folklórico alive for the next generation. Día de los Muertos is a natural fit for them!
