The former
collective houses (conventillos) and the traces of the
European immigration of San Telmo, the brothels area
of La Boca, and Barracas’ factories ambience are
the attractive sites of a journey that reviews the origins
of tango. Fundamental pieces of this gender are listened
to along the ride while a nurturing analysis of its
evolution is provided. Furthermore, tango lyrics are
read for an in-depth appreciation of its peculiar poetics
while sharing some anecdotes and biographies of its
most important representatives.
