A good way to absorb the flavor of sensual magnetism and a mythic atmosphere is visiting one of the restaurants that offer tango shows and be taken to the stage by some of the best dancers, singers and musicians in the highest level, ideal for an unforgettable night. Tango is the music of Buenos Aires per excellence. Its origins are traced back to 1880 from the slums, inhabited by Italian and Spanish immigrants. Its lyrics, difficult to be understood and impossible to be translated, are deeply poetic and have a story to tell about the city, its history and its people. Despite its humble origins, in the 20's tango left the brothels and the underworld districts to reach the high-class ballrooms, but to do so it had had to travel to Paris to come back triumphant. Tango became at last a complete cultural expression, a gathering of myths, values, traditions and aspirations.

Esquina Carlos Gardel,
El Querandi,
Señor Tango,
La ventana.
