The origin of the tango
The tango originated in the late 19th century in the slums of Buenos Aires, where various musical traditions of immigrants from Europe and Africa intermingled. The influences of European waltzes, polkas and habaneras as well as African rhythms merged into a unique musical style.
Originally, tango was an expression of the longing and melancholy of immigrants and the poor who lived in the suburbs of Buenos Aires. Over time, tango evolved into an elegant and stylish dance form that also became popular in the salons of high society.
