EL DIA DEL TANGO

11 december 1890 is the birth date of one of the most emblematic personalities in the history of tango - singer and composer Carlos Gardel, author of a number of well known tangos, who made tango popular around the world with his singing and his starring in big Hollywood productions. On this same day, but 9 years later, in 1899, another famous tango figure was born - violinist and composer Julio De Caro, one of the greatest innovators in the history of the genre who introduced arrangment in tango music and created the so-called Decarean school - the base of the education of most tango musicians and composers today. Taking into account the importance of this date in the history of tango, in 1977 11 december was proclaimed as the National Day of Tango in Argentina. Following the growing popularity of argentine tango around the world, many aficionados in other countries began paying tribute to this date and the "Tango Day" gained worldwide recognition.

Taking into consideration the importance of this date in the world of tango, in 2004 the founders of TanguerIN chose it to announce the set up of their organization and for the last five years have been honouring El Día del Tango with special events. Since 2008 these events turned into a multi-day festival, a true celebration of the dance, the music, the poetry, the art, the culture and the spirit of Tango. Join us this year again to celebrate the Day of Tango and 5 years from the creation of TanguerIN.

It's time to TANGO!
