What's the difference between Argentino Tango and regular tango? Most important is that the Argentine tango is improvised rather than choreographed, whereas the standard tango follows defined steps and guidelines. Argentine Tango, on the other hand, is much more than a dance. It is an internationally recognized independent music genre. Tango lyrics include their poetry, which is worth exploring.
What inspired the tango dance and its music? The story begins about 1900 in the Ro de la Plata estuary, when tango flourished in Buenos Aires, Rosario, and Montevideo. As early as the 1910s, the dance was very popular there. It quickly became fashionable in Europe as well.
The golden era of tango is regarded to be the 1930s and 1940s. They performed in front of enormous live orchestras and cut innumerable albums. Tango tradition virtually came to a halt for two decades starting in 1960. However, it was kept alive by dancers and musicians. Astor Piazzolla created the Tango Nuevo, which was well-received by jazz lovers. When a superb tango production went on tour in the early 1920s, interest in tango resurfaced. Since then, the number of tango fans has steadily increased, and thanks to YouTube, the dance is now popular on every continent.
Neotango and electro tango are no longer as popular in milongas as they once were, particularly in Argentina. They are returning to the origins, i.e. traditional tango, in the tango scene there. There is also a greater emphasis on the "Codigos de la Milonga," or game rules, which are customarily passed down for a harmonious coexistence of partners on the dance floor. On a packed dance floor, the Neotango's broad movements had proven to be a tad disconcerting. Nonetheless, numerous Neotango aspects have found their way into the dance. They are simply performed in a more delicate and sophisticated manner today.
Tango de Salon, Tango Milonguero, and Canyengue are other Argentine Tango styles that are danced and combined nowaday.
With innovative interpretations of old tangos and their creations, young tango orchestras and musicians have garnered a lot of fans in recent years. They have a devoted and ever-growing following as they tour across the world. Sexteto Milonguero, Orquesta Misteriosa Buenos Aires, Orquesta Romántica Milonguera, La Juan D'Arienzo, Carlos Quilici, or Cuarteto Mulenga are just a few examples.
