International Tango Day
Description:
Juan Carlos Kopez
In the port suburbs of Buenos Aires, at the junction of the XIX and XX centuries, the cultural traditions of many countries of the world met and intertwined into one whole - the rhythms of the Cuban habanera, African kandomba, some European dances imported by foreign sailors. And soon the lyrical and passionate tango sounded all over the country.
Argentines believe that this dance is so closely connected with the history of Argentina that it eventually became the embodiment of the national character, the essence of the Latin American style. After all, tango is a vivid demonstration of energy, it contains temperament, passion and eroticism, so characteristic of Latin Americans.
During the dance, you can fall in love, live a long and happy life and die in one day, dance can tell about your feelings, about what is difficult or impossible to express in words.
