Tango in Buenos Aires |
Tango is known to have been born in the late
nineteenth century. Initially, only men would dance it and
it was played in brothels with a guitar, a violin and a flute.
Towards the end of 1890 the bandoneon was added to the line-up
and the flute was replaced.
But for the feeling of deep melancholy and nostalgia immigrants
had, tango wouldn’t have improved so vastly. Some of
the most representative artists regarding tango are Astor
Piazzolla, Aníbal Troilo and Carlos Gardel.
