BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Buenos Aires' nightclubs were ordered closed by a judge on Friday in response to the drug-related deaths of five people at a music festival in the city this month but nightclub owners vowed to ignore the order.

The capital's iconic tango milongas and dance get-togethers held at cultural centres are exempt from the ruling by municipal judge Roberto Andrés Gallardo, which otherwise calls for an end to "all commercial activity involving dancing with live or recorded music."
