One of the most famous Tango Dinner Shows, “MARABU,” is on the lower floor of this building and has been recently renovated and reopened for alternating nights of Tango Milangos and Rock/Latin Dances. During the 30s and 40s Marabu was the symbol of the golden era of tango. It was for Buenos Aires like the Moulin Rouge was for Paris. Here Troilo debuted his orchestra in 1936 as well as other master musicians such as Pugliese, D'Arienzo, Di Sarli, and others. (On the entrance you will see plaques of the above mentioned names.) During those times the entrance free to MARABI was 150 Argentine Pesos. ~
