The show "Afrikano" takes you on an unforgettable journey to the heart of Buenos Aires. It is the perfect symbiosis of live music and dance, immersing the audience in the world of Argentine Tango inspired by the beats of Africa. Visitors experience an unforgettable blend of passion, sensuality, vibrant rhythms, and enthusiasm for life.
However, it’s not your typical show on a stage! And it’s not simply another Tango show!
It’s a dynamic, 360° immersive event experience, that is full of surprising elements and a new style of music, that will leave the audience in awe.
Told through the journey of one man, "Afrikano" narrates the story of a voyage through Tango, complemented by a significant element that has been forgotten over time: the rhythm of African drums. Combined with colorful costumes, a magnificent live orchestra, and spectacular choreography, the show unveils the eternal interplay of melancholy, pain, desire, and the everlasting yearning for freedom and adventure. "Afrikano" celebrates a dazzling tribute: to Argentine Tango, to passion, and to life.

PETER GABRIEL 2022
Rhythm is at the center of everything. Life begins with
a heartbeat.
Then in the dark warm safety of the womb, the first
external beat we hear comes from our mother's heart.
What is that heartbeat doing? Its pumping blood to all our cells, just like it pumped
blood into the sex organs of the baby's mother and father.
Blood is the juice of the rhythm, and the rhythm
always brings us back to the heart.
This pulse, this vibration, this repeated pattern, marks
out the beginning and the end.
If there's a pulse, there's a rhythm. If there's rhythm, there's life.
