This footage was filmed and produced 10 December 2023.

The National Tango Day is celebrated this Monday in the country in commemoration of the birth, although of different years, of Carlos Gardel and Julio de Caro, two great references of that genre.

It is an initiative that the musician and producer Ben Molar proposed in 1965 and was only approved in 1977, the year in which it was approved by municipal decree on November 29 and by national decree on December 19.

About his idea, Ben Molar stated at the time: "Tango Day was born in my mind when I was a kid, maybe. I was waiting for a bus at the corner of Corrientes and Esmeralda to take me to Maestro Julio De Caro's house on Callao and Guido. We were celebrating his birthday. Miraculous coincidence that two great aspects of tango, such as music and lyrics, are represented by these two famous Carlos Gardel and Julio De Caro born on the same day".
