French and Italian oriented buildings that belong to the 1920’s and 1930’s, colorful cafes in every corner of the city mixed with the latin energy that invites you to dance our national dance, the tango.
At the beginning of the century, Buenos Aires was epicenter of a huge immigration movement, all across the country, but specifically in our city. People from Italy, France, Spain, Germany (amongst others) came to our lands, looking for new growing opportunities, better salaries and better life quality, giving us in the present a big variety of people, races and cultures.
2. Tango.
One, two, three, four. Two by four. The rhythm makes you want to get off of the chair and start moving.
It takes two to tango, and it takes just your visit to dance it, feel it, and taste it at the original cradle of it.
Waltz, foxtrot, rock and roll, many music genres that are great and also are able to be danced, but: are those music styles as sensual as tango?
Visit La Boca, the beautiful Almagro and Boedo neighborhoods, typical and traditional places where you will be able to listen to live tango bands, enjoy of live tango shows, and maybe learn some steps before you go back home.
