Tradition & Philosophy

Milonga El Firulete was founded by the argentine Nicolás Bertucci in 1999 to offer the- at that time- very small Vienese Tango community a place where they could experience a traditional Milonga as you can find it in Buenos Aires.

Nicolás is  dedicated to the „old School“ Milongueros and Milongas as they exist in his hometown and holds a deep respect for the traditions of the argentine Tango, including the music, the space and the dancers and their individual skills, ages and measurements of any kind.

He favors personal care over perfectionsm and a good „caminar“, chat, smile or laughter over exaggerated tango figures.

Having been mostly closed during the pandemic El Firulete will take place about once a month from march 2023 onwards, focusing on an amicable, intimate and relaxed atmosphere, where Tango afficinados can share their passion, dancing to traditional tangos from the golden era, having nice chats, laughter and can enjoy themselves.

AFTER ALMOST 25 YEARS the oldest traditional Milonga

of Vienna closes its gates and Nicolás orients himself towards Italy. Thank you for all the former guests and dancers being with us and we hope to see you once more

- for a beautiful Farewell Party.
