Argentine Tango - a thread.

.. about the dance, the music, the culture around it, and a bit of history too.

(caveat - i'm no expert, just an enthusiast)

Let's start with a fun taster - a dance to one of the 3 main genres of music within tango culture - the milonga - we'll talk more about it later.

Enjoy it - but if you do want to watch more carefully, notice the most important element of tango - connection!

Tango as a dance and as music to dance to has been around for about 100 years - going through two golden ages, by common consensus.

Over that time, and across continents, it has evolved and sprouted new forms.

Modern, tango nuevo, is probably best characterised by the Gotan Project.

Here is there iconic Santa Maria (Del Bien Ayre)

(I started my tango journey with London's Federico, very. much a performance dancer, featured in the video)
