Tangopostale
(from 2 to 8 July 2012)

It all began with the birth of Carlos Gardel in 1890, the voice that made the tango sing throughout the world. And Toulouse became a tango city forever. Since that day, the number of "tangueros", experienced, passionate dancers of the Argentinian tango, has risen constantly.
Tangopostale is the name chosen for this festival, which aims to share the Tango as an urban culture from Rio de la Plata, with its folklore, music and customs, through talks, exhibitions, films, workshops, etc.
Tangopostale is also an "abrazo" between "tango" and "aéropostale". Because we mustn't forget that it was Aéropostale that created the first service for transporting mail from Toulouse to Buenos Aires just over 80 years ago.
The dances or "milongas" will have Toulouse dancing and give you a chance to share a convivial moment enjoying a popular tango.
