Lions go Latin

June 19 & 26, 2006

The lions explore the joys of Latino machismo: Samba and mambo will be sure to make an appearance, as will the music of Antonio Carlos Jobim and Villa-Lobos. This being Chor Leoni you may also find a famous cockroach, Charo, someone from Ipanema - and possibly Carmen Miranda! Expect slick choreography, trademark Chor Leoni humour, a spectacular sunset, and an internationally recognized mystery guest in an unforgettable evening of summer fun!
