It will be third edition of this space that frames the tango in the Creole music of the pampas. the payadores, orchestras, guitars and / os cantoras / is entreverarán is a popular celebration.

Tango and folk music are brothers, a segment of the same tree, both genders were born in our yards, in our fields, in our towns, in our guitars, in our radios, on our trains, in our port, and our immigrants.

This social and cultural mix that is expressed in Gardel, Troilo, Oscar Hill, Edmundo Rivero, Amalia de la Vega, Carlos Molina, Roberto Äyrälä, Omar Moreno Palacios, Carlos Lopez Terra, Roberto Grela, and many others; It is the heritage of these pampas and-largely- our "south of Buenos Aires", rural and citizen.

So it was necessary and urgent to create a festival that would bring together all tangueras expressions and Creoles of our time. Understanding this cultural need, in the year 2017 It was held the first edition of this cultural encounter, He born as a mode of expression and crossing various aspects of our culture Buenos Aires, but mostly lomense.
