about the origin of the word "tango", there is uncertainty. In the 19th Century, the word "Tango" in Spain and Latin America in various types of dance, songs and joint festive occasions. Some researchers suggest an African origin of the term, with the general meaning of "African dance." Others derive from the medieval English word "Tang" or "taner", which so much "play a musical instrument" as or "touch something with your fingers" means. In 18/19. Officials from Buenos Aires century used the terms "zango", "Tambo" and "tango de negros" to describe the location where the common people were holding feasts and dancing.

The Argentine Tango was a national symbol in the struggle for national identity in Argentina 20th Century: This dance has in fact accepted by all walks of life.
The early tango combined elements of the Gauchos, especially the improvised "payada" songs and the "milonga". The milonga is probably a dance of African origin in duple meter with syncopated rhythms that influenced the rhythmic structure of the tango. Another African element is the "Candombe" a neo-African dance from the region of Río de La Plata. From Candombe borrowed the Tango two major dance figures:
· the "corte", the sudden stop
• The "quebrada" the bending of the upper body
The three main forms of tango are:
· The purely instrumental tango milonga

Text: Mario Soto, Musik: Jorge Caldara, Entstehungsjahr: 1951
not know, you never know what's
die a thousand times
anxiety;
can never understand what that is loving and crazy.
burning your lips, your eyes
drunk and torture my right ... Sed
makes me burn and I turn on my chest with passion.
You nailed me, I feel beat
scorching my temples, I adore you when you
and
much I love you when you're away from me.
So I love you, sweet life of my life ..
So I feel you, only mine, always mine ... I have fear of losing
,
to think that I can not see ... Why
doubt that brutal?
Why do I have to bleed, every kiss
if you feel faint? However
torment me because I carry the blood;
and every instant, feverish and
lover I kiss your lips.
What will your look,
that when your eyes raise
me feel burning inside me
a voracious flame of love? Your hands untied
caresses that bind me with your charms
woman ...
I know I could never start breast
this love! Te quiero así siempre
... Estás en mí
clavada
como una daga en la carne y Pasional
ardiente y de ansiedad temblando
quiero morir en tus brazos.
German translation (by Jolanda)
Passionate
You will never know
What does it mean to die a thousand times
fear of having to
You will never understand what it means to love and
Something About Your lips are
that kindled
your eyes, the delight
And what my mind torture
thirst that can inflame me
And my heart with passion ignites
You are in me nailed
I hear barking up (?)
human consumption on my temples
I adore you when you're with me I love you
even more so when you're far away
I love you so sweet life of my life so I feel you only
my, my forever
I'm afraid to lose you
The idea that I not see you anymore ...
Why this brutal doubt? Why would I have to bleed to death
,
if I feel that you fall into a swoon at every kiss?
Nevertheless torment I
Because I carry you in my blood
In each moment I want you feverish and loving kiss
What is your view be
Because if you cancel your eyes to me
I hear in my mind a voracious cry for love?
unleash your hands caress me bind
At your feminine charm
I know, I can snatch for no more this love in my breast
I would always like you nailed me hard
like a sword in the flesh
fiery and passionate
While I tremble with fear
Do I want to die in your arms

The Golden Age of the tango was in the 1950s to the end, as the subsidy funds of the tango cafes have been cut drastically. The large dance orchestra were replaced by smaller ensembles. The big difference was that the audience did not attend, but only listened. So the concert tango became fashionable in the developed of the "nuevo tango", the tango vanguard. In the 1960s, involved Astor Piazzolla (1921-1992) and bandoneon player in the creation of the new tango. Piazzolla was born in Mar del Plata and grew up in New York.
