The antique Argentine Tango was influenced by the Tango Habanera, which bears no resemblance to the Argentine Tango we know today. The Tango Habanera came about from two types of Tango: the Milonga with its influence in the guajira flamenca and the Tango andaluz or Tango flamenco. The Milonga was danced and played by country side people of Argentina. The Tango Habanera was an amalgamation of the Habanera and the Tango Andaluz or Tango Flamenco. The rhythm of the guitars playing the Tango flamenco or andaluz could not be reproduced in orchestra instruments and with the piano, so the Tango andaluz or flamenco was modified with the habanera rhythm. The Tango Habanera was heard in 1883 but died towards the end of the century. The Tango Habanera has been entirely associated with the first forms of Argentine Tango. The flexing of the knees is associated to a dance called Candombe which was danced by the black people from Africa living in Buenos Aires. The male Candombe dancers danced with their knees flexed, to show their dance skills using walking steps (corridas) and turns.
Traditional polkas, waltzes and mazurkas were mixed with the popular habanera from Cuba and the candombe rhythms from Africa mixed together in Argentinas Capitol
The counting of habanera refers to a specific rhythmic pattern used in the traditional Cuban dance music known as habanera. It typically involves a syncopated rhythm, often counted as "1-2-3, 4-and" or "1-and-2, 3-and," which creates a distinctive feel that distinguishes it from other dance forms. This rhythm is integral to the habanera's unique sound and style, influencing various musical genres, including tango and jazz. The habanera itself often expresses themes of love and longing, making it a popular choice in both classical and popular music.
