Argentinian Tango

Tango is a partner dance that developed in the 1900s in towns along the border between Argentina and Uruguay, then rose as a distinct genre of music and dance in Argentina’s Buenos Aires and Uruguay’s Montevideo. The musical genre and the dance that personifies it both fuse a variety of European dances and styles of music with African-inspired rhythms and dances.
