Buenos Aires has many cinemas and theatres. The Teatro Colón
(Colón Opera House), monumental coliseum of extraordinary
acoustic, hosts international concerts, opera and ballet. At
night, you may watch tango shows in different places.
The Tango
 It started
by the end of the 19th. century as a mix of various rhythms
danced in the poorest quarters. First it was danced by pairs
of men to the music of the flute, violin, and guitar, the first
of which was subsequently replaced by the "bandoneón"
(a type of accordion) which gave it its distinctive taste. Immigrants
added their nostalgia and melancholy, and so the tango was developed
into what it is today. Outstanding musicians such as Astor Piazzolla
and Aníbal Troilo are exponents of this wonderful music.
