The tango - a Latin American dance with the emphasis on the Latin - orginated in the early nineteenth century, in Argentina and Uruguay, with immigrants - the Rioplatense - in the Rio de la Plata area. Tango blends Spanish and African styles with other European music and, like the French Apache dance, is a highly-sexualized dance form designed to demonstrate male power, machismo, and female sensuality.
Tango music blends is in 2/4 or 4/4 time and the dance is probably best known as a ballroom, or exhibition, dance.
Today, the tango is danced worldwide and many regions have developed their own versions.
Noël Coward wrote a wonderfully witty song, Nina from Argentina, which deftly illustrates this style of dance.
The word, tango, is Argentine Spanish and is believed to come from a term describing an African-American drum dance.
