You think you can dance Argentine Tango? Watch this video! My South America Trip #7 – Caminito and La Boca, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Wait….who were dancing? Scroll down to the end of the post and you will see! The video I took was posted towards the end of the first video.

Caminito and La Boca

Caminito (“little walkway” or “little path” in Spanish) is a street museum and a traditional alley, located in La Boca, a neighborhood of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The place acquired cultural significance because it inspired the music for the famous tango “Caminito” (1926), composed by Juan de Dios Filiberto.

Our group could only spent a very limited time in this area, but I managed to take many pictures, bought a small painting, and appreciated a Tango dance performed outside a restaurant. Below is a video that I created from a few video clips and many photos. Enjoy the video , the pictures and the music!

I have not been able to find a Caminito Tango music that fits the length of my video, but I found this one. Enjoy!
