TODAY IN TANGO ! 
Tango is almost a religious experience in Buenos Aires and all around Argentina. A tango show is always the perfect combination between dance and music, and according on the house of the tango, has a unique appeal that it’s hard to find one other place. I had the opportunity to attend to Esq Carlos Gardel Tango Show with BsAs4U, and it was such a remarkable experience, all those magical moves and melodies, created a magnificent experience that I only could live in the incredible city of Buenos Aires.
