Buenos Aires für Tango Reisende

 
91 pages, Softcover, in german language 2025

Regina Prachner and Walter Unterberger have not written a traditional travel guide. Their "guide" is a very personal travelogue, based on their experiences during their numerous stays in Buenos Aires.
It is intended to help readers plan and prepare for a trip to the Rio de la Plata. However, the heart of the book is devoted to visiting a milonga. A milonga in Buenos Aires is completely orchestrated. Reception, seating arrangements, códigos, and dance etiquette—if you ignore the rules, or rather, the laws, the evening will quickly turn into a disaster. ...

Here, Prachner and Unterberger offer valuable tips: talk to your own teachers to get recommendations. Attend prácticas before the milongas to get to know other people, whether they are other tango tourists or porteños. Prachner and Unterberger recommend going to a milonga in a group. Then you are sure to get to dance and can experience the magic of tango up close. A highly recommended book. A book that grounds you.
