“Underground” tango is coming back this Wednesday at 9 pm at Ciudad Cultural Konex, with performances by Grupo Lado Ciego, Falopa, "Cucuza" Castiello - Moscato Luna, Chino Laborde - Dipo Dvitko and Orquesta La Vudú. All of them are young artists that share the rock and the music of their city, who are able to create new sounds and, mainly, a new way to talk about daily life and Buenos Aires' celebrated masters.

The Tango World Championship goes on with “Stage Tango” classification rounds this Wednesday at 3 pm at La Trastienda (Balcarce 460, San Telmo). The final round will take place on Thursday at 11 am, at the same place. An expert panel of judges will choose those couples that next Friday will be competing on the semi-finals: “Salon Tango” at 11 am and “Stage Tango” at 7 pm, at Tango Porteño (Cerrito 570, opposite the Obelisco).

This Wednesday at 7 pm at Harrods´ auditorium, composer and singer Juan Vattuone will be present at the Tango World Championship and Festival showcasing his particular, passionate, and Porteño style. His show called “Escuchame una cosa” combines tango and other “parallel” arts like dance and hip hop as a new emerging urban culture.

This Wednesday at 8 pm, the Sexteto Milonguero will be performing together with DJ Tarantino at the milonga taking place every day on the nice stage of Harrods. This group, which is similar to those great formations of the sub-genre, will be presenting a repertoire including the celebrated duo D’Agostino-Vargas and the traditional orchestra of Aníbal Troilo.

The location of stands, situated on both sides of Harrods’ beautiful central hall, favours the visit of hundreds of people, from Buenos Aires and abroad, every day from 11 am to 9 pm. Everything, from books, albums, outfit, craftworks to information on dance schools and tango-related matters is all neatly presented and kindly offered.

This Tuesday at 1 pm, the successful film projection segment of the Tango Festival and World Championship is to continue with the Argentine-Italian production “3 minutos” (2004, Eva Baratta). This story takes place in Buenos Aires during an economic crisis and is about four women that, at the end of the day, forget about everything and run away to another world where they put on their tango shoes and go out to dance.

This Tuesday at 8 pm, Harrods will be the venue for an electronic tango and other related music styles party, with sounds by Narcotango, Otros Aires, hip-hop master Mario Rizzo and DJ Inca. New aesthetics, new languages, the same idea: 21st century urban music, right here, right now, in Buenos Aires.

Every day, at different times, people who would like to try tango may take a class for beginners at Harrods. To such effect, time schedule and dance levels have been extended so that nobody misses it. This Tuesday at 2 pm and 6 pm, instructors Olga Besio, from Carlos Copello’s Tango School, 100% expertise and quality, will be teaching beginners the first moves at tango.

The Tango World Championship goes on with classification rounds this Tuesday at 3 pm at La Trastienda (Balcarce 460, San Telmo). It will be a full day of tango dance with couples from all around the world trying to get to the semi-finals in the category. On Wednesday and Thursday, at the same place, the “Stage Tango” category is to be disputed.

Talented dancer Iñaki Urlezaga will be performing this Monday at 8 pm at Teatro Avenida along with the Ballet Concierto directed by Lilian Giovine. He will be interpreting, among others, Mora Godoy’s choreography “Siempre Buenos Aires.” Last Friday, the dancer from La Plata has defined this performance to La Nación as: “a work that combines a lot of classical music, a bit of tango with very marked start, then stylising and coming back towards the end. This is certainly because Mora has come to work with a classical company and has evolved into this creation: then, it is almost impossible for a classical dancer not to move as such.”
