Experiencing a tango show
is one of the most common activities in Buenos Aires, fun, flirtatious
and romantic allure, which is characteristic of Argentina in general,
but also because Buenos Aires is where the tango was born about 100 years ago.
Tango was recently recognized as intangible cultural heritage of humanity by the UNESCO which means that is considered a cultural expression of outstanding interest that should be preserved and diffused to assure the
protection of the world's heritage.The tango culture is a central part
of the Uruguayan and Argentinean culture,but Buenos Aires is considered
as the Capital of Tango, due not only to its size and importance on the Rio de la Plata region,
but also to the number of renowned tango artists that contributed to its
development and the importance of this rhythm in the construction of
the city identity.
While travelling through Buenos Aires you will see many exhibitions of street tango along with a vast range
of tango souvenirs, tango music stores, tango artists and tango
accessories on almost every street corner. However, the most important
tango experience that no traveler should miss out on, is a visit to a professional tango performance.
In Buenos Aires there is tango for everyone, from passionate lovers
to curious tourists, from young adventurers looking low budget tango
experiences to senior travelers expecting a more fancy artistic evening.
If you prefer more holistic experience you can choose a full program
of tango dinner show with tango lessons, or go for an only tango show if
you are not used to have dinner at the late Argentinean time.
There are also tango shows which incorporate samples of Buenos Aires folklore directed to those
looking for a broad picture of the musical culture of the country, or
tango exhibits that compile its history in few dancing acts for those
looking to learn in deep the development of this rhythm and its
adaptation to the modern times. So the final question is, what type of
tango audience are you?
When striving for perfection, every small detail counts. The same too applies for travelling. If you’re
going to spend one whole night at a tango show, not to mention spending quite a few dollars, of course you want the show to be aptly suited to your needs.
