What are the characteristics of Argentina?

Tango Argentino

Argentine tango originated in the port area of Buenos Aires, Argentina. A large number of immigrants from Africa, North America and even Europe are stranded in the port, forming a special foreign social group. Most of them have low social status and unstable lives, singing and dancing in bars to kill time.

Argentine tango is actually a special art form in this special environment, and its dance is based on various folk dances in Latin America and Africa, such as Milonga, Habanella and Candombe. Argentine tango is actually very different from the tango performance we see in national dances.

It is actually an art form that sings more than dances. Moreover, its singing is all male voices, and it is all solo, occasionally interspersed with a few farce. Enthusiastic keyboard accordion is the main theme of accompaniment, and its unique syncopation rhythm always gives people a spiritual impact.

Argentine tango has its own name Milonga.

Argentine tango is not like tango in national dance. Argentine tango is the body of two dancers standing side by side, almost sticking together (because of this intimate action, tango caused an uproar when it was introduced into Paris), and it is difficult for non-professionals to connect these actions. Maybe it's because it's too difficult to learn and the songs are too high and too few. Argentine's attitude towards tango is somewhat similar to China's attitude towards Peking Opera-older people are overjoyed, while young people stay away from it.
