Omar Vega Boston was a tango dancer whose birth year is given as 1959 [1]. The available sources describe him in connection with the Tuesday milonga Almagro, with teaching milonga classes in Argentina, and with his death in Buenos Aires in 2008 [2][3][4].

The dossier on which this article is based contains only a small number of dated statements about his life, so the account below is brief [1][2][3][4].
