World Dance of Tango Festival - Milongas

Milongas with live music.

Classical and alternative Milongas are two sides of the same tango theme. The program includes traditional music, dances with 40, theatrical performances, exhibitions, tango spirit of rock and electronics with a taste for tango. Harrods will host a number of milongas with live orchestra and two great electrotango parties. City Konex will be part of a series of garage-curing tango by Gabriel Plaza, like the party-electrotango.

Tango

The tango is manifested in the lyrics - many of the words used in the tango come from lunfardo (porteños’ slang); in the music - the large accordion provided the music from the Río de la Plata with that melancholic and somewhat sullen sound that characterizes tango today; and in the dance – which is seen in tango shows and practiced in milongas).

CASAS DE TANGO
Buenos Aires is full of tango houses with live orchestras and dancers. The most important places that offer live shows usually include dinner (with options in Argentine beef or international menus).
