TANGO

The Tango


Buenos Aires is a province with so many places to be visited, each one with its own attraction to any person, either visitors or not. It’s located in the centre of the country and is the province with the most cultural, social and economic activities, also is the most populated one.As we don’t want to waste the plenty of places Buenos Aires has to offer we will be dedicating a post for each place.

No doubt that tango is the style and dance music that characterizes Argentina the most and even more the region near the Buenos Aires’ harbor and surroundings.
Basically in the orquest, the bandoneon with its particular sound plays an essential part in it.
The language used in the composing of the lyrics is known as “lunfardo”, which means a vulgar expression of feelings and sadness referred to life’s things and love, the suffers and eradication of the immigrants.
On of the most attractive things about this dance is the particular and complex choreography characterized by a series of precise movements made by the couple in which the man is the one who takes the lead of the dance guiding the woman the movements all along the dance.
