Cafe de los Maestros (Tango)

The Cafe de los Maestros concert at Teatro Colon was a one-off reunion of the biggest tango maestros. I was so pleased to have the opportunity to go to the Colon for the first time and see such an exciting event with my lovely friend Ana. I've really fallen in love with tango music since I've been here and have bought lots of CDs, including the old maestros such as D'Arienzo, Pugliese, Piazzolla. I was also very impressed by an Argentine film documentary "Si Sos Brujo" about Balcarce, a composer and bandoneonist, so I was very excited to discover that he would feature in the event, together with other maestros that were influenced by and worked with the above. So, below you have 4 videos that I took and photos:
