Buenos Aires is the world's supreme city of the Tango. It is impossible to visit the city without getting in touch with this authentic social expression.

The Tango, is the most authentic popular Argentine music. It started by the end of the 19th. century as a mix of various rhythms danced in the poorest quarters. First it was danced by pairs of men to the music of the flute, violin, and guitar, the first of which was subsequently replaced by the "bandoneón" (a type of accordion) which gave it its distinctive taste. Immigrants added their nostalgia and melancholy, and so the tango was developed into what it is today. Outstanding musicians such as Astor Piazzolla and Aníbal Troilo are exponents of this wonderful music.

Enjoying a sensual show accompanied by a good dinner is a grate experience. But you may prefer a far outreaching experience: taking a few tango lessons, attending a 'milonga', and take guided visits to the most bohemians corners in the city where this mysterious music was born and grew, so sensual and so Argentine. 

In 2009, the tango was incorporated on the List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity
