... Carlos Gardel, Astor Piazolla, Roberto Firpo? La Cumparsita? Juan y Evita Peron? Buenos Aires? What do you associate Argentina with?

Argentine tango. Surrounded by myths and legends, both music and poetry, dance and art, dating back to the end of the 19th century in the suburbs and harbour pubs of Buenos Aires (Argentina) and Montevideo (Uruguay), it started its’ expansion to the world.

Already in 1912 Argentine tango musicians and dancers performed with great success in overcrowded concert halls of European capitals - Paris, Berlin, London and elsewhere. In 1913 not only Argentine tango started its’ road of fame in USA, but also back home in Argentina came out of pubs to permanently enter the elegant dance halls of Argentina's upper-class society. Directly from Paris Europe became overwhelmed with tango - shows, concerts, theatres, bars, cafes, restaurants, and atmospheric dance halls.

Through wars, revolutions, rises and falls - since September 2009, Argentine tango has been included in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. Today - in Europe, Asia, Americas ... and, of course, in Latvia, Argentine tango continues both to unite and divide, but definitely - to move, enrich and captivate us on its’ world journey ...

For the first time in Latvia, perhaps the loudest and most scandalous name in the modern Argentine tango music today - tango orchestra "El Cachivache Quinteto" from Buenos Aires, in its 10th Anniversary World Tour, in the only para bailar (danceable) concert in the Baltics - "TANGO DE BUENOS AIRES"
