Born
on the unlit streets of Buenos Aires, tango was inspired by the music
of European immigrants who crossed the ocean to Argentina, lured by the
promise of a better life. It found its home in the city’s marginal
districts, where it was embraced and shaped by young men who told
stories of prostitutes, petty thieves, and disappointed lovers through
its music and movements. Chronicling the stories told through tango’s
lyrics, Mike Gonzalez and Marianella Yanes reveal in Tango how
the dance went from slumming it in the brothels and cabarets of
lower-class Buenos Aires to the ballrooms of Paris, London, Berlin, and
beyond.
Tracing the evolution of tango, Gonzalez and Yanes set its music, key figures, and the dance itself in their place and time. They describe how it was not until Paris went crazy for tango just before World War I that it became acceptable for middle-class Argentineans to perform the seductive dance, and they explore the renewed enthusiasm with which each new generation has come to it. Telling the sexy, enthralling story of this stylish and dramatic dance, Tango is a book for casual fans and ballroom aficionados alike.
