About Tango<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The origins of Tango are a bit murky, but can be traced to the immigrant communities of Buenos Aires and Montevideo in the latter half of the Nineteenth Century. These polyglot neighborhoods along the Rio de la Plata were home to immigrant working-class Italians who loved opera, habanera-schooled Spaniards, milonga-dancing gauchos, African drummers and dancers, Jewish violinists from Poland and Russia, German accordion players, Hungarian lovers of gypsy music — dreamers and fighters all. Tango was their music, the sound-track of their daily dramas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The respectable ladies and gentlemen of Buenos Aires were appalled at the abandon and sensuality of Tango; their adventurous offspring, however, were fascinated and made discreet visits to the low-income neighborhoods to listen to the music and learn the dance. One of these young men introduced Tango to the high society of Paris around 1911, spurring a passion for Tango and all things Latin. By 1913, Tango, with its air of forbidden seduction, was the toast of Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tango\u2019s success in Paris was soon felt in Buenos Aires. The Parisian stamp of approval transformed the immigrant music of the \u2018hood into an upper-class craze. Small improvisational music groups became well-rehearsed orchestras; band members donned white dinner jackets. Classically trained musicians moonlighted at tango cafes; poets abandoned traditional poetry to focus on tango lyrics. In a fit of patriotism, the government decreed that half of all radio programming be of Argentine origin. Tango orchestras raced to fill the vacuum in national programming, sending Tango over the airwaves throughout Argentina. Just as country music and jazz became the national sound of the United States via radio, Tango became Argentina\u2019s national music thanks to these broadcasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The arrival of rock and roll ended Tango\u2019s Golden Age. Like the big bands in this country, great tango orchestras fell on hard times as young people were swept away by Beatlemania. By the late 1950’s Tango was only for seniors. A few musicians continued to pour creative ideas into Tango – Julian Plaza, Mariano Mores, Horacio Salg\u00e1n, Osvaldo Berlingieri, Eduardo Baffa – but the youth of Argentina wasn\u2019t listening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two important artistic events in Paris launched Tango\u2019s renaissance: the arrival of Astor Piazzolla and the debut of \u201cTango Argentina.\u201d Astor Piazzolla was an Argentine tango musician who dreamed of becoming a classical composer. In 1953 he won a scholarship to study in Paris with Nadia Boulanger. With her guidance, he created Nuevo Tango<\/em>, a synthesis of classical techniques and tango passion that became popular with jazz and classical audiences. It wasn\u2019t until the 1983 Parisian debut of the show \u201cTango Argentino,\u201d however, that Tango achieved international stardom. Featuring musicians and dancers from Tango\u2019s Golden Age, \u201cTango Argentino\u201d electrified Paris and went on to tour the world, including two successful Broadway runs. Everywhere it played, audiences went mad for tango dance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, as night falls in almost any city in the world, it is possible to find a milonga<\/em> (a tango dance) and people from diverse cultures in close embrace, celebrating life three minutes at a time. Damascus, Tokyo, Istanbul, Dar as Salaam, Rio de Janeiro, Moscow, Tehran, Philadelphia, Montreal, Norfolk \u2013 wherever you travel next, google tango and check out the local tango scene. It\u2019s a community that welcomes all who love the music and the dance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tango is dance, music, and poetry: the voice of Buenos Aires. In 2009 Tango was awarded World Cultural Heritage status, a stunning honor for the humble gift the poor immigrant neighborhoods along the Rio de la Plata gave to the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
