tango music
Argentine dance soundtrack
Tango music is the distinctive musical tradition that originated in the Río de la Plata region of Argentina and Uruguay in the late 19th century.
Characterized by its dramatic, melancholic quality and syncopated rhythms, it features the bandoneón (a type of concertina), violin, piano, and double bass.
The music evolved alongside the tango dance and ranges from the structured arrangements of orquestas típicas to the avant-garde compositions of Astor Piazzolla's nuevo tango: The café played old tango music while couples danced.
