The oldest milonga in Portugal and one of the oldest and traditional in Europe. Founded, in 1999, by Alejandro Laguna, original from Buenos Aires, and Solange Galvão, from Oporto.
Stands out for the promotion of the social tango from Buenos Aires and for the consistency in the values that provides to the participants, emphasizing the intimate meaning from the embrace, the music and the social celebration of the milonga as the center of tango.
Milonga d’ A Barraca is characterized, since 1999, for its loyalty to the traditional tango and for its communion with the traditional Portuguese fado.
An original idea thought-out and developed by the dancer and professor Alejandro Laguna, who has been gaining the attention from some of the most renowned Fado musician and singers in Portugal.
