Description
The tango is one of the quintessential features of the culture of Argentina, especially Buenos Aires.Tango (possibly from Latin tangere, meaning "touch") is a partner dance that originated in the 1890s along the Rio de la Plata, the natural border between Argentina and Uruguay, and soon spread to the rest of the world.Early tango was known as tango criollo (Creole tango). Today, there are many forms of tango extant. Popularly and among tango dancing circles, the authentic tango is considered to be the one closest to the form originally danced in Argentina and Uruguay.In 2009, UNESCO approved a joint proposal by Argentina and Uruguay to include the tango in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists.
