Tango in B.A.
 
Need a recommendation for a tango show in B.A.that is authentic and hopefully not too expensive.

Try Mr. Tango or el querandi. Dinner and a show cost $60 pp in December. It is probably less expensive now, after devaluation of the peso.

Carol, we were in BA a couple of years ago and lucked into a wonderful experience. There's a flea market in the San Telmo area and if you wander around you will most certainly come across a wonderful couple doing the tango. In fact, not long after our return home, the magazine SAVEUR, had an article on BA and featured these same two dancers - they were quite amazing. Also, the food is wonderful especially the steaks and pizza. Enjoy your trip!

OK, how about free??<BR>La Boca, right off Carmelito<BR>at a place called El Mejor Lugar De La Boca on Del Valle Iberlucea 1151<BR>(Tel# 4301-1520)<BR>It's a restaraunt with the white linen tablecloths, roses in a vase, waiter all snazzy and dancers dancing the tango and singers singing tango all while you eat. Is it expensive? I took a family of six there and spent around 30 pesos for a decent lunch (15 US dollars)<BR>afterwards, you can get your picture taken with the dancers in various poses all for free<BR>Osvaldo, the singer and emcee was just great at getting the audience involved.

Try "Tango por dos" show by Miguel A. <BR>Zotto. They have been touring Europe<BR>last year, and now returned to Bs.As.<BR>This is the biggest show in the city,<BR>and the dancers are fantastic, especially two young couples. There is a show every night, and the ads are around the city, it is hard to miss it.
