ABSTRACT
A woman in a red dress, fishnet stockings, and high heels, dancing acrobatically with a man in a black suit with a hat and sleek, combed-back hair, a red rose clenched between his teeth. Both halt in a pose with stretched-out legs, suggesting passion and erotic encounters. Women and men who play tango music for dancers, and who dance tango in social surroundings, have a passion and love for tango argentino as music and dance. They practice and perform it passionately and love meeting others who have similar feelings. Tango argentino is a music–dance practice. Its genesis dates from the turn of the nineteenth to the twentieth century and lies in the Río de la Plata area between Argentina and Uruguay. Around that time, the bustling cities of Buenos Aires (the capital of Argentina) and Montevideo (the capital of Uruguay) saw a massive immigration from Europe.
