Eugenia Parrilla and Yanick Wyler – Otra Luna
Welcome to the third episode of the 030tango podcast. Zeynep Aktar and Sercan Yigit are one of the most exciting tango couples from Turkey. We met them several times at festivals in Europe and took the chance to record this episode when they showed up at one of our tango marathons. Enjoy their warm and kind energy in this podcast or the next chance you see them at an event!
Welcome to the 030tango Podcast, the Tango podcast that takes you on a journey through the world of Argentine Tango. Join Jonas, the creator of 030tango and guests from all aspects of Tango culture.
In each episode, we dive deep into tango. From seasoned tango dancers to dedicated organizers and everyone in between, our conversations are like a tango embrace—intimate, vibrant, and full of surprises.
