“Menton, the other shore of tango” invites you to five days of rhythm, passionate embraces…
Five days of sounds from elsewhere…
Dance workshops, balls, concerts, shows, gastronomy, all on the shores of the Mediterranean…
This year, Menton plays on duality: the authentic observes the tango nuevo, acoustic meets electronic, the past looks at the future, nostalgia caresses the future…
Five days of fever, five days of sensuality… Five days during which Menton takes on a little air of Buenos Aires… Only five days…

Indeed, it offers traditional classical pieces as well as contemporary tangos that bounce off mixed compositions fusing drum’n’bass, chacarera, hip-hop, and tango.
