Ernesto Famá

Singer and composer (August 18, 1908 – July 19, 1984)

His association with Francisco Canaro meant tours, radio, and theater plays, making his way up to fame possible.

Canaro’s popularity was great at its peak and Famá was part of this successful stage, one of the golden chapters of our tango.

Notwithstanding the number of recordings, his career was not long, only fourteen years in show business; at thirty-five, he was already retired from showbiz.

“Qué solo estoy” by Lucio Demare y su Orquesta Típica with Raúl Berón in vocals, 1943.

Lucio Demare

Pianist, composer, arranger and leader (9 August 1906 – 6 March 1974)

A player of unmistakable sound and phrasing, he has been an authentic speaker with his piano.

An intimate mood playing which is exactly exemplified by his rendition of “Qué solo estoy”

Either his instrumental and vocal charts have the trademark of his fine personality as artist or the groups he led.

Demare always composed his songs in solitude and preferred to do it on already made texts.

Lucio Demare’s orchestra was one of the most subtle and sentimental that could be heard in the 1940s.

Dance Argentine Tango in Buenos Aires

Travel to Buenos Aires and dance Argentine Tango

ine Tango in Buenos Aires with Marcelo solis at Escuela de Tango de Buenos Aires

To understand the full meaning of a phrase you need to know its context.

You need to know this about Argentine Tango: Buenos Aires is where Tango is at home.

We are going to Buenos Aires to see what Tango really is, how Tango looks in its home.

Come and see it by yourself

You will visit Buenos Aires guided by a milonguero.

If your goal is to master the Art of Argentine Tango, you will achieve a complete comprehension of Tango if you are met by the community of best dancers there, which we call “milongueros” in a general way, but who are individuals, with names and reputations as great dancers. Not everyone who calls themselves a “milonguero” is one. That is why you will need to be introduced by a member of this community.

Osvaldo y Coca Cartery. Maestros milongueros. Escuela de Tango de Buenos Aires.

In Buenos Aires, we will go to the milongas where Tango is still lived as a culture, and also, fundamentally, to take classes with excellent milonguero teachers,

many of whom do not travel abroad, from whom you can receive important insights into the dance, its recent history, its philosophy and way of life.

We are at the edge of missing these milongueras and milongueros forever. It is perhaps our last chance. If you care, seize your opportunity to come to Buenos Aires and meet them, take lessons from them, go to the milongas they go to, watch them dance and the way they behave, talk to them.

Come and see Tango in Buenos Aires

Perhaps one day you will pass all these insights onto a future generation of milongueros. This is the ultimate goal of this tour.

We will also visit places of cultural relevance to Tango, to Argentina and to the world, highlighting how this beautiful City, Porteños (the people who live in Buenos Aires), architecture, art, history, cuisine, and way of life are intimately connected to Tango music and dance.

The format of this tour seamlessly integrates you into the life of a Porteño/a, allowing you the opportunity to experience all of the components of Tango from the passionate point of view of a milonguero/a.

Argentine Tango tour to Buenos Aires. Meet Blas Catrenau, great Maestro milonguero

A typical day in Buenos Aires on my tour:

  • Late morning – because nothing starts before a little coffee and facturas… We meet for a City tour and to enjoy a leisurely lunch.
  • Afternoon/Early evening – Classes and practicas with excellent milonguero teachers.
  • Evening – Milongas every night.

*Early mornings and some afternoons are free for private lessons. I highly recommend you take private lessons with a milonguero/a teacher while in Buenos Aires.
Each day we will enjoy lunch at a different location, leaving most of the evenings for snacks and being light to dance. You will be able to purchase food at milongas.

Let’s go!

Roberto Flores

Singer and composer (July 29, 1907 – November 9, 1981)

In 1923, he made his debut in show business as an actor.

He was developing his skill as an actor and singer simultaneously until 1937 when he was summoned by the bandoneonist and orchestra leader Enrique Rodríguez.

In 1939, the year of his consecration, El Chato recorded the numbers that would accompany him throughout his career.

A jewel of his songbook: the tango “Son cosas del bandoneón”.

Osvaldo Fresedo

Bandoneonist, director and composer. (5 May 1897 – 18 November 1984)

In 1927, Fresedo’s success was such that he kept five orchestras performing at the same time, the main of them at Tabaris cabaret, along Corrientes street, the most important street in the city.

Thus he had to go from one location to the other at least to show himself at each place where one of his orchestras was performing.
