Arte y Tango

Pintando el Tango


Apasionado, sensual y terriblemente seductor, el tango argentino, es muy evocador, para muchos de nosotros. 





Podemos elegir entre las numerosas danzas europeas e internacionales, la que convenga más al sentir del momento, sea el romanticismo del vals, la exhuberancia del rock'roll o la atmosfera carnavalesca del samba. 


A pesar de su reputacion de danza melancólica, el tango argentino, refleja todos estos y muchos otros sentimientos. 


Nacido en los bajos fondos de Buenos Aires, el tango argentino ha sobrepasado sus origenes modestos para brillar en las veladas parisienses mas selectas, pero su verdadera "patria" está en los bares y en la gente que vive en los barrios pobres.
