About Tango Buenos Aires

Tango Buenos Aires summarizes the singularity and genuineness of our artistic and cultural manifestations, showing the distinctive features of our City. The projection and importance of tango in the world achieved such magnitude that in December 2009 it was declared Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in a decision made by UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Committee. Numerous activities linked to the genre enrich Buenos Aires’ cultural agenda, but, without a doubt, the most important tango international event comes to life with the Dance Festival and World Championship.

Tango Buenos Aires synthesizes a passion that year after year increases its followers not only in Argentina but also around the world and strengthens the commitment to the historical heritage, the growth and the projection of tango in all its ways of expression.

The growth, projection and importance of tango worldwide has achieved such magnitude that in December 2009 it was declared Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, by decision of the Intergovernmental Committee of UNESCO. Similarly, and since February 2010, tango has an official and exclusive auditorium in the City: the "Teatro de la Ribera" in La Boca neighborhood. All programming in this auditorium will be exclusively dedicated to porteña music, with milongas, shows, lectures and exhibitions.

Tango Buenos Aires also includes the Dance Festival and World Championship: the tango event of greater international impact. Thousands of dancers and audiences from all around the world come to the City to participate and to live the various activities that this event offers, which already has its set date in the month of August. Similarly, but of local nature and within the scope of the milongas, the City Dance Championship is celebrated every year. This Championship extends to the whole length and width of the City; it travels through the porteño neighborhoods and every night of the competition ends with a different milonga.

In this way, every day more activities and events linked to tango enrich the cultural porteña agenda and enhance this asset that summarizes the most unique and genuine of our artistic and cultural manifestations, showing the hallmarks of the porteña culture which combines tradition, renewal and diversity of a type of music that identifies a proudly tanguera city.
