Club La Independencia (Milongas)

Location
You have to be well-informed in order to find it. The place is located on Independencia, between Perú and Bolívar. On the left, in the direction where the cars go by, next to a garage, there is a double wooden door and a doorbell. You may find a small sign on the glass that says "Milonga Today." Ring the doorbell. The door opens automatically without having to answer any questions (there is a doorbell but no intercom). A barely lit room with a marble staircase, flaking paint on the walls, an elevator shaft with no cabin. Go to the first floor. Go on, be brave... it's a place where different milongas are organized. "La Marshall" (a gay milonga), which is now organized at Maipú 444, took place here for many years. On Fridays, you can go to "La Milonga del Gordo" (the fat man's milonga). So who's the fat man? Just ask the milonga dancers in the neighborhood. The milonga "San Telmo Jolibud" takes place on Thursdays. Many people still call it "Orsai." The tango groups that play here are those that "don't want to work at tango bars for tourists and are not trying to get the greatest number of tours abroad." On Saturdays at 9:00 p.m., tango classes are given by Ruth, provided she's not on tour in Europe. Then there's a milonga.
