The Argentine Tango

In Buenos Aires today it is “Tango Day” – a celebration of the provocative, sultry, slow and sexy latin dance we know as the Argentine Tango. It is a dance born in the slums of the largest cities of Argentina and Uruguay and has remained an important element of the local culture.
The term “tangos” comes from popular African dance celebrations. Other terms synonymous with the tango, are “milonga” and “candombe”.
