Tango Show Shore Excursion in Buenos Aires, Argentina

This unforgettable excursion introduces you to all qualities of tango in its different enchanting expressions.

Tango, originating in the 1880’s along the River Plate, is noted to be a result of combining a multitude of dances. In the late 19th century, Buenos Aires was becoming an immigrant city, where frustrated and melancholic Europeans displaced gaucho rustics, who in turn retreated gradually to the ever more distant countryside. 

Permeated with nostalgia over a disappearing way of life, the tango show expressed the apprehensions and anxieties of individuals, ranging from pastimes like horse racing and other popular diversions to deeper feelings towards the changing landscape of the neighborhood and community, the figure of the mother, betrayal by women, friendship or other important personal concerns.
