All around the city you can hear "milongas" , "tangos" and "valsecitos criollos".
Lots of people grew up hearing different stories about those popular dance clubs("tanguerías") in the centre of Buenos Aires , near the imposing Obelisco where inmigrants and "criollos" used to spend their nights dancing and drinking . They would work too many hours a day but they would make their lives enjoyable before going to bed.
Tango is inextricably linked to the dreams of Italians inmigrants who arrived in Argentina in search of a better life. They brought nothing but their hopes.
However , their tales, emotions, and experiences have provided an inspiration for many writers. For instance, they were witnesses of brilliant colours , unending couples of dancers and populated "conventillos". All of them you can find while you are walking in "Caminito" , listening to the everlasting "bandoneón".
It is the city of everyone who wants to feel the unique rhythm of Tango played by Discépolo, Homero Manzi , Cadícamo or Gardel in any ancient corner of the city.
