Discover the passion of Argentine tango through the sounds of the bandoneón


Transport yourself to Buenos Aires to delve into the sensual history of Argentine tango. The bandoneón (a type of concertina) is not just an instrument, it encapsulates the raw passion of tango.

In this entrancing production, the bandoneón comes to life and introduces you to the other instruments, sounds and movements of the dance. Number by number, the history of tango music is revealed as the bandoneón brings together the instrumentalists and dancers of your dreams.
