Argentina Dances....Tango at its very best....

On the 28th September, I joined the line up for tickets (gratis) in front of the new Cultural Centre of Buenos Aires (which is the OLD Correo Postal, Post Office) for the 'Federal Selection of Tango' of Argentina. A fortunate choice, as the best of the best, from all the provinces of Argentina, got together, and gave a one off rousing performance: musicians from all points of Argentina made up the orchestra, the most talented Argentinian tango singers joined in, and many of the best dancers of the Tango passion in Argentina performed tango, valse and milonga choreographed by well known artists of the genre....enjoy....I certainly did! The milonga (last dance in the video) brought the house down!

The Old Post Office, converted to a venue for concerts, theatre performances, an exhibitions...the blue whale tail refers to a concert hall called "Ballena Azul" (the Blue Whale) which has been constructed inside the atrium of the old post office.

1920 Architecture at its best....even the 'escritorios', intricately carved wooden writing desks, have been left in place to maintain the ambiance of an old post office...
