Discover the authentic Buenos Aires tango experience in Lisbon. Milonga d'A Barraca —founded in 1999— is the oldest and most iconic milonga in Portugal, a true meeting pl

ace for lovers of tango, music, and culture.

🏛️ A UNIQUE VENUE and TRADITION
For over 26 years, Milonga d'A Barraca has promoted the social and traditional tango, emphasizing the roots of porteño identity, live music, and the unique atmosphere of the milonga as the place where the real tango happens. Hosted at Teatro Cinearte - Bar A Barraca, an Art Deco landmark from the 1940s (recognized for its cultural value by the Lisbon City Council), the milonga offers two charming spaces:

◦ Hall: 45 m² wooden dance floor, bar, stage, seating for 65 people at 15 tables.

◦ Gallery Lounge: a cozy corridor with 7 tables and a panoramic view — perfect for conversation. The venue welcomes up to 180 guests for special anniversaries.

🎶 BIRTHPLACE of FADO-TANGO FUSION. Milonga d'A Barraca is also the birthplace of the fusion between Tango Dance and traditional Fado — a pioneering idea developed since 1999 by Argentine dancer and PhD researcher Alejandro Laguna. This unique crossover has inspired some of Portugal’s leading Fado musicians and singers.

Do You Want to Discover How the First Regular Milonga in Portugal Began?

This milonga remained active from September 1998 until November 1999 and became a massive dance gathering place, bringing together lovers of tango, salsa and kizomba.

The space was a café-concert venue, with a stage and two dance studios.

In April 1999, Dance Factory and the CCB became the venues for the first encounter with a great master of Argentine Tango in Portugal, produced by Alejandro Laguna and Solange Galvão, featuring Carlos Borquez and Norma Yacono.

These Argentine milonga nights introduced an entirely new audience to tango and brought the bohemian spirit of the Buenos Aires milongas to the city of Lisbon — nights with no fixed ending time, where tango continued until dawn.

🇵🇹

O espaço era um café-concerto, com palco e dois estúdios de dança.

Em abril de 1999, a Dance Factory e o CCB foram as sedes do primeiro encontro com um grande mestre do Tango Argentino em Portugal, produzido por Alejandro Laguna e Solange Galvão, com a participação de Carlos Borquez e Norma Yacono.

Estas noites argentinas de milonga trouxeram um público completamente novo para o tango e transportaram a boémia das milongas de Buenos Aires para a cidade de Lisboa — noites sem hora para terminar, onde o tango continuava até de madrugada.

With me, you will learn how the body organizes tango while dancing, even through its simplest movements.
In my classes, you will come into contact with an inner language of the body and the embrace that often cannot be easily perceived from the outside, yet from which a way of walking, listening to the music, and relating to the other person on the dance floor is born.
You will learn how to be emotionally moved through dance…
