Another New Tango Experience
A new show is to open in la Sociedad Rural Argentina. It’s going to have a lot to live up to. Already the location of the World Tango Championships, the Belle Epoque stadium also hosts Opera Pampa (a showcase of Argentina’s history with zamba dances and asados). Located in the Frers Pavillion we are promised “An Unforgettable Experience” and a “callecita porteña” – a little porteña street where guests will be able to visit an environment populated with early 20th century porteño characters. The experience may well be unforgettable, but whether or not it’s good, original or simply a copy of the successful Boca Tango Experience remains to be seen.

  Health and Safety Measures Cause Hike in Entrance Costs
In April a number of prominent milongas were shut down in Buenos Aires after inspections by Health and Safety authorities.
Although it took a while for milonga promotors and venue management to agree who should fix the problems, all bar Palermo SoHo have reopened. Patricio and Adriana have therefore moved their Wednesday night milonga from Palermo SoHo to Club Gricel.
While it’s true that the undertaking of such inspections were not before time, almost all milongas have raised their entry prices as a result. Last year one could expect to pay between 8 and 10 pesos for a milonga and around 15 pesos for a special show. Now regular admission costs range between 13 and 15 pesos and some milongas charge as much as 20. The difference in cost may well be insignificant to visitors, but for local residents it’s a different story.
Many can not absorb the hike in charges are dancing at fewer milongas as a result. This change in numbers may well change a milonga’s ambience and the experience of those who attend. Is this the end of an era? Only time will tell. CE
 

Global Warming Affects Welsh Centre Tango
London’s oldest tango club; Tango the Argentino Way, moves from its regular venue at the Welsh Centre to Conway Hall for June, July and August. Chosen for its air conditioning, Conway Hall will be more comfortable in the summer’s heat (if it comes). This period’s classes are run by Los Ocampo, Richard Manuel and Pauline Ribell, Bruno Tombari and Mariangeles Caamano and David Benitez and Kim Schwartz.
