From September 8th  to 19th the Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome will turn into a small Buenos Aires for the third edition of the Buenos Aires Tango. This year the festival will celebrate two anniversaries: the bicentenary of the Independence of Argentina and a century of history of the great South American art movement.

The show is set up by the Musica per Roma Foundation, in collaboration with the City of Buenos Aires, where every year takes place the most important tango festival of the world. Not only in the name of dancing, the 12 days will be devoted to the culture of beauty, virtuosity, poetry, energy.

There are 25 scheduled performances, but also dance classes, lectures, exhibitions, and the Club de Tango Studio Theatre – a model of the famous houses of tango in Buenos Aires, where you can be transported by the sensual rhythm, face to face with the most celebrated artists.

Among the events you cannot miss the unique encounters between Nestor Marconi and Julio Pane, two great masters of bandoneón, and between Marconi himself and the Italian musician Enrico Rava. The public in Rome will also assist the return the Orquesta El Arranque, now considered part of the history of this passionate and engaging art, and the exhibition of the most spectacular pair of tango dancers in the grand final on Sunday 19th, including world champions of 2008 Jose Fernandez y Melody Celatti.

This is an incredible opportunity for all tango dancers or those who simply love the music and culture of Argentina. To rest after a day of wild dances, book a room at the Diplomatic Hotel in the centre of Rome and a just a short walk away from the Auditorium.
