Nueva Pompeya

Nueva Pompeya, often loosely referred to as Pompeya, is a neighbourhood in the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Located in the South side, it has long been one of the city's proletarian districts steeped in the tradition of tango and one where many of the first tangos were written and performed.

A neighborhood local, the legendary tango composer Homero Manzi, set a very popular tango in Nueva Pompeya, describing a melancholy landscape that, even today, defines much of the district's physionomy.
