Our story begins over more than two decades in the heart of Buenos Aires at the emblematic town of San Telmo where we as a family conceived our company with a particular and unique vision, the Tango. It was the year 1968 when Susana Godoy and Luis Machi decided to establish themselves in San Telmo in an attempt to create something special, something that would capture the essence and charm of the Argentinian tango. The Machi family embarked in the adventure of opening a place with passion and determination in which the tradition of tango and the art of show entertainment would be wholly combined, That’s how “La Ventana” tango show” came to be. A place where music and dance intertwined to provide the public a unique and unforgettable experience.

At the construction site a “typical Aljibe” from the XVII century was discovered, as if it was completely forgotten in time. A historic relic that has remained hidden over the centuries.

It was the acquisition of the adjacent building that since the year 1967 up until the end of the century would operate as “Michelangelo.” Michelangelo. A Buenos Aires classic that once was the epicenter of cultural night life, had lost its magnificence with the passing of the years.
