Manrique: From The Barrio to The World and Dancing Class

Come along on a colorful journey through the heart of Manrique, a neighborhood pulsing with music, movement, and joy—where art blossomed as a response to life’s hardships. Born in street corners, bars, and modest canteens, this cultural tradition evolved into both a source of solace and a dynamic force for social change. In Manrique, dancing and singing are more than entertainment—they're powerful tools to express, resist, and dream.

Our adventure begins on the legendary Tangovía, a vibrant road that mirrors the commercial and cultural soul of the community. Along the way, we’ll delve into the artistic roots and popular rhythms that define this dynamic territory.

We'll then visit a House Museum that keeps tango’s legacy alive and pays homage to the iconic Carlos Gardel. Nearby, a lively community school of Latin music and dance opens its doors for a dancing class—inviting us to feel the beat, connect with others, and express ourselves through joyful movement.

From there, we’ll relax at a cozy café dedicated to the spirit of tango, bolero, red wine, and the cherished tertulia—where rich conversations flow to the rhythm of heartfelt melodies.

Our final destination is UVA La Armonía, home to “Constelaciones,” the city’s largest artistic mural—a breathtaking celebration of creativity, identity, and collective memory.
