Mata and Venci
Tango Aficionado
Over the last ten years we have dedicated much of our personal time and resources to create a stable and larger tango community in Plovdiv.
We created Tango Afcionado in 2015 and since then we have been holding weekly Argentine Tango classes and organizing weekly milongas. Several times a year we organize seminars and weekends with guest artists from abroad, and since 2016 we organize the only Tango Festival in our city: the Tango Afcionado Fest. Apart from our hall, we have also given lessons in several other cities in Bulgaria and Greece. Mata is a DJ with many performances in Bulgaria, Greece, Serbia, Austria and Romania. Every year we organize a free course for students and pupils so that we can introduce young people to Argentine Tango. We have participated in radio and TV shows related to Argentine Tango, Plovdiv Opera performances, Plovdiv Cultural Calendar events, numerous charity events. We have co-organized the tours in Bulgaria of El Cachiwache, the Argentine singer Lucas Maschiano and the Bulgarian group Tango Cats.
Friendly relations
We maintain friendly relations with all tango schools in Bulgaria and try to support most tango events in our country. We have very good contacts with tango schools in Northern Greece, Romania and Serbia.
Share
For us tango is not just a dance, it is music, poetry, history, culture, relationships and sharing. We try to pass this on to our students and tango friends. Tango has survived for over a hundred years because of continuity. This is our goal - to pass on our love of Argentine Tango, our knowledge and skills to the next generation.
