¡Bailemos Tango! A Century Of Tango On The Dance Floor

$9.86 CD

Tango is a song, a dance, a way of life—a tradition imbued with the nostalgia, poetry, and vitality of Argentina, especially Buenos Aires, where tango originated in the late 1800s. A fusion of the candombé and the European dances then prevalent in Buenos Aires, the dance evolved from being considered an inappropriate display of overt sexuality—it was the original “dirty dancing”?—into a subtle art form steeped in passion. Today tango is loved and appreciated by dancers and romancers around the world.  ¡Bailemos Tango! A Century Of Tango On The Dance Floor spins 19 tangos that define the dance and the culture throughout the 20th century, from classic milongas, candombés, canciones, fueyes, and bandoneónes to contemporary ’90s hits.
