Tangi Lion

Intimate solo set from toronto legend of button accordion One accordion. A thousand miles of stories. Button accordion wizard, cultural nomad, and longtime fixture of Toronto’s folk underground, Tangi takes the stage solo for a rare close-up encounter. A veteran of countless dance floors, tavernas, festivals, and late-night sessions, he digs deep into the folk traditions that shaped him, weaving together melodies that feel ancient, restless, and alive. Vol. 5: From Breton Fest-Noz gatherings to Balkan celebrations, smoky tavernas, and Toronto basement parties — folk music with dirt under its nails, meant to move feet, spark conversations, and bring strangers together. This is the heart of VOLUME 5 of the INSTITUT experiment. Every week, a different hypothesis. Underground at 620 Spadina Ave - around the back, through the lot to the steel doors, down the stairs, past the mechanical room, through the swinging wood laminate door... Come early for an open folk session with KRYVA KOSA at 5PM and for a concert at 7PM and vinyl til close with JANINA MARIE. But RSVP even though it's PWYC so we know who to expect.
