Famous Tangos

When you start going to traditional milongas (tango dance events are known as Milongas) you will hear traditional tango music (including vals and milonga). After you have been to a few you will start to hear some tunes again and again. If you recognise a tune and have danced to it before, the next time you dance to it it will be easier. We are putting together a collection of these famous tangos to help you get to know them.
