Buenos Aires World Tango Festival
The largest tango dance tournament in the world, also known as El Mundial de Tango, started out in 1998 as a festival organised by the City of Buenos Aires. Its aim was to celebrate Argentina’s commitment to its cultural heritage and to emphasize the recognition of tango as a fundamental form of artistic expression. Over the years, the event grew and surpassed national borders, gradually becoming a meeting point for professional and amateur tango dancers from all over the world.
