Argentine Tango

Description

Argentine Tango is characterized by its passionate and dramatic style, featuring a distinctive rhythm and melody often played by a bandoneón, violin, piano, and double bass. It is known for its expressive and improvisational dance form.

History

Argentine Tango originated in the late 19th century in the working-class neighborhoods of Buenos Aires and Montevideo. It evolved from a blend of African, Indigenous, and European musical influences, particularly from immigrants who brought their musical traditions to Argentina. Over time, it gained popularity in Paris and other parts of Europe, which helped it become a global phenomenon.
