Tango music

Tango music originated in the late 19th century in the neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, Argentina. It combines influences from African, European, and Argentine folk music, characterized by its dramatic and passionate melodies. Typically played with a variety of instruments, including the bandoneón (a type of accordion), violin, and piano, tango music creates a mood of longing and romance. It is closely associated with tango dance, which emphasizes connection and rhythm. The genre has evolved over time, inspiring various styles while remaining rooted in its rich cultural heritage.
