tangoTango is a music genre from Argentina. It’s associated with a dance form and a whole culture.

Early tango was known as tango criollo. Today, there are many tango dance styles, including Argentine Tango, Uruguayan Tango, Ballroom tango (in performing shows), Finnish tango and vintage tangos. What many consider to be the authentic tango is that closest to that originally danced in Argentina.

Tango originated in lower-class districts of Buenos Aires around eighteen century. The music derived from the fusion of various forms of music from Europe . The word Tango seems to have first been used in connection with the dance in the 1890s. Initially it was just one of the many dances, but it soon became popular throughout society, as theatres and street barrel organs spread it from the suburbs to the working-class slums, which were packed with hundreds of thousands of European immigrants, primarily Italians, Spanish and French.

Tango is quite a sensual dance, bodies are permanently in touch. Recently, a gay Tango is being developed at Buenos Aires. Gay milongas (places where dance Tango) are spread all over Buenos Aires.
