Show-related family
The choice of Liliana Carcavallo is not accidental. His great-uncle was Pascual Carcavallo, businessman and founder of the Alvear Theater (1942). Her father took her there very often, who woke her up every morning with tango and folklore. Among so many anecdotes and memories, the owner of Casablanca tells that she played behind the scenes with the son of Mariano Mores and affirms that Enrique Santos Discépolo wrote some of his sainetes and the lyrics of several of his tangos in a ranch owned by Don Pascual, who he visited in search of inspiration. But only 20 years ago, Liliana began to dance tango and frequent milongas, so the lawyer educated in an English school returned to embrace her roots, family memories and love for tango. Today, in front of Casablanca, he is determined to restore its shine and turn it into the most glamorous tanguería in Buenos Aires.
