Argentina-Buenos Aires
During the Tango Dance World Championship Buenos Aires is alive with Tango concerts and milongas. The city is covered in posters announcing concerts and diverse Tango-related activities. Harrod's historic hall becomes once again a multitidinous dance floor where the milongueros are the stars. European immigrants, mainly Italian and Spanish, freed African slaves and gauchos created the dance and music that would become the tango in Buenos Aires around the 1880s.
