Programa del Festival de Tango México 2025

Invited Artists

Agustín Juárez — Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1987.

Agustín Juárez studied architecture at University of Buenos Aires (UBA), where he had his first contact with design.

Years later, screen printing became his form of artistic expression. After a long period away from drawing, and once settled in Mexico, he decided to return to the scene, this time working on canvas.

His work explores different technical paths, but they all converge on a key element: color — pure and abundant; the undisputed protagonist of his stroke.

The fluidity of line is also present in his most recent exhibitions. Private galleries in Argentina, Mexico and the United States house part of his collection.

Ehya Disonante, an ensemble from La Nana (Ehya means 'joy' in hñahñü), formed in 2016 with the purpose of creating a space for learning, community and musical laboratory.

The ensemble's repertoire focuses on promoting urban popular genres and composing original material.

As part of the 13th Festival of Tango in Mexico, a heartfelt tribute to Carlos Gardel is proposed, featuring the voice of Fabián Maglio accompanied by guitarists Damián Tuso, Santiago Arias and Rafael Pérez.

Dancing from the soul

María Inés Montilla

General Director of the Mexico Tango Festival

María Inés Montilla Lusetti was born in Mendoza and, from the age of five, studied at the "Blanca de la Vega" Academy, where she graduated as an Actress and Professor of Interpretation and Stage Art.

She moved to Rosario, where she ventured into television and radio; she took singing lessons with Maestro Graciela Mozzoni and, at the same time, tango classes with renowned Argentine dancers.

Immediately after, on July 20, 2007, she premiered the play "Muertas de Hambre" at the Ofelia Theater; the monologue was nominated for Best Female Humor Monologue 2007 by the Association of Theater Journalists of Mexico.

On two occasions, "Muertas de Hambre" was presented in the Zócalo of Mexico City, and there have already been more than 1000 performances.

She premiered "Bébeme mi amor, tango y vino" in Argentina, toured with Argentine pianist Joel Tortul and in Mexico City was invited by the Tangoloco Quintet to the Lunario; later she sang at the Esperanza Iris Theater with the Quinteto Entretango. She currently sings in the show "Tangueros."

She was part of the program of the Buenos Aires Tango Festival and World Championship (2017) presenting "Tengo algo que decirte" at the National Tango Academy, accompanied on the piano by Miguel Pereiro.

In May 2008, "Milonga Malena" was born, which for more than ten years became one of the main tango references in Mexico; Malena Tango School has trained hundreds of tango dancers.

For more than ten years, María Inés was in charge of the Tango workshops at the Casa del Lago of the UNAM.

In 2010, as a Cultural Manager, María Inés created and coordinated the Tango Festival at the Casa del Lago of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).

In its different editions, the Festival is dedicated to important figures such as Aníbal Troilo, Libertad Lamarque and Enrique Santos Discépolo, among others, with the invaluable support of the National Tango Academy (Arg) and the Mexican Tango Academy.

The Tango Festival left the Casa del Lago to be received by different spaces such as the National Center for the Arts (CENART), the University of the Claustro de Sor Juana, the Ángela Peralta Auditorium.

This Thirteenth Mexico Tango Festival will include the First International Tango Championship and will have different venues: Fundación Miguel Alemán, Restaurante Quebracho, La Nana Laboratorio Urbano de Arte Comprometido, Teatro de la Ciudad Esperanza Iris and Salón los Ángeles.

In August 2017, the doors of the Lo de Inés forum were opened with the premiere of the show "Del Tango al diván," written and performed by María Inés, accompanied on the piano by Martín Murano and directed by Alejandro Herrera Bracho; a Café Concert space, unique in Mexico City, which she coordinates with Carlos Mackinlay.

It is located on the 1st floor of the Quebracho restaurant on Hamburgo street #313, Col. Juárez. Cuauhtémoc. CDMX

"Nadie puede parar el Viento," a tribute to Mercedes Sosa, along with two renowned folklorists Ernesto Anaya (Mex) and Juan Martin Medina (Arg) and the participation of Montserrat Revah (Mex) has been presented in Mexico City since 2015.

With the support of the Autonomous University of the State of Mexico, the album was produced and can be enjoyed on various platforms.

Víctor Manuel Arrieta with his classical guitar accompanies María Inés in "Es inútil callarla," a show of sung and dramatized Spanish poetry that is still presented in different forums.

In April 2022, and under the direction and script of Maestro Salvador Garcini, she premiered the play "Una actriz sin permiso," a poetic musical comedy, at the Círculo Teatral of CDMX.

In February 2024, she wrote and premiered the poetic musical comedy "Casi Romántica" at Foro Lo de Inés, Café Concert, with theatrical direction by Alejandro Herrera Bracho and musical direction by Pepe Zavala; on May 15, 2025, it was presented at the Pepsy Black Forum.

Guest singer of the Quinteto Tangoloco in the Lunario of Mexico City.
