Closing Night in La Baldosa:
La Baldosa is the milonga in the
mythic Salon ‘El Pial’, located in
Calle Ramon Falcon 2750, in the
Flores quarter of Buenos Aires.
This Salon, dating from the 1940’s,
maintains a musical tradition that
originated with Argentinian folk
music and later tango, in an
environment that preserves the
characteristic architectural style of
the first milongas. It is much
cherished by the aficionados of the
milonga style of the 1940’s and
1950’s.
