TANGO in Argentina
TANGO PLACES
From 10 to 23 August 2017 - Various locations around the City of Buenos Aires
Even if the milonga is a musical genre closely related to habanera and tango, in Argentina it also refers to the place where tango lovers go dancing. In the hall, there are orchestras or musicians playing live and some of them offer tango lessons even if this is a specific practice in the academies. The milonga porteña has its own codes and rituals, but it also defines a tango style: the tango milonguero, which differs from stylized tango, more characteristic of tango shows.
Many places in Buenos Aires invite visitors to enjoy tango dinner shows in which, along with a national and international gastronomic proposal introduce dancers, singers and orchestras displaying the grace and the glamour of this musical genre from the Río de la Plata area. Here, tango shows off before those who come along to appreciate its charm. And logically, it gets all the applause.

Lyrics: Enrique Santos Discépolo.
Music: Mariano Mores
In my childhood I stared at you
as those things I would never possess
the nose against your window
in an iced blue feeling
that only later, living,
was the same in my soul.
As a school that teaches all things,
in my youth you gave me in wonder
a good smoke...
a faith in my dreams
and a hope for love.
How can I forget you in my lament
"cafetín de Buenos Aires"?
If you are the only one in life
who resembled my mother.
In your strange association
of smart guys and self-killers
I learned philosophy... dice... gamble
and the bitter poetry
of not to think of myself.
You gave me in gold a fistful of friends
the same who cheer my life and my hours
José the one with dreams
Marcial who still believes and hopes
and skinny Abel... who's gone
but still he guides me.
On your tables that never ask questions
I wept some day my first disillusion
I knew of pains,
I drank my years
And I gave up with no fight.
Lodging in
Buenos Aires City
