About this experience
Enjoy an unforgettable evening at Café de los Angelitos, a historic café in Buenos Aires with over 100 years of tradition. Located in the Balvanera neighborhood, this iconic venue once welcomed legendary figures like Carlos Gardel and now hosts one of the city’s most prestigious tango shows. Behind velvet curtains, a cozy theater awaits to immerse you in the elegance, charm, and passion of Argentine culture. The show features 21 performers, including an orchestra with violin, piano, double bass, and bandoneons, two singers, and six pairs of dancers. Through music, dance, and costume changes, the performance tells the story of tango from the 1920s to the modern era of Piazzolla. With a refined atmosphere, intimate lighting, and attention to detail, Café de los Angelitos delivers a 360° experience where tango evolves from myth into a vibrant, living art form. Let yourself be captivated by this unique night of history, rhythm, and emotion.
