A tardeo follows a very specific social rhythm. It begins with people arriving gradually, having drinks, talking and settling into the space. As time passes, the atmosphere becomes livelier and the event shifts from relaxed socialising to a more festive mood where movement and dancing appear naturally. Music has to support that transition without forcing it. Rumba works especially well because it balances warmth, rhythm and accessibility, making it easy to keep the environment social while still allowing the energy to rise in a natural way.
