The Changing History Of Buenos Aires Argentina Tango

Buenos Aires Argentina Tango has a history that has characterized and exalted its
lovers, its town and its land since the start of what has become an eternal love.

Of modest descent, Buenos Aires Argentina Tango is nowadays a sign of refinement and
beauty, of status and refinement; nevertheless, on the 1880's, as travelers from Europe,
Africa and other shores arrived to the Buenos Aires ports, they searched for “services”
in whore houses, giving birth to tango, as a danced presentation of the bond between the
whore and her procurer. Hence, the tango was strongly censured by the high class.

Along its initial years, Buenos Aires Argentina Tango was diffused through intense
melancholic notes that related accurately to the foreigners' reality.

Later on, Ricardo Guiraldes, who was a bohemian, author, high class playboy and lover
of the tango, journeyed to Europe, composed a poem out of respect for the dance and
executed a tango in a illustrious salon in Paris. The French admired it and the tango
turned into the first latin American dance passion of Europeans, immediately grasping
Argentina's upper class's attention.

Aft Paris, Rudolph Valentino, a renowned movie star, executed a tango as a gaucho in
the movie “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” (1926). Hollywood was capable of
creating the greatest scene in tango history, and it would present great opportunities for
the tango, even for future productions.

All the early attainments and findings about Buenos Aires Argentina Tango were just the
supporting structure for the golden age of tango and Carlos Gardel, who is the true hero
of Argentinian tango; with a fervent voice and virile looks, he was adored and admired
by everyone. Carlos Gardel turned famous and set off the golden age of Buenos Aires
Argentina Tango worldwide thanks to the new audiovisual capabilities.

After Gardel's passing, the tango divided into two significant groups: the conservative
group and the evolutionist group. These fronts developed up to the ending of the tango's
golden age, around 1950.
Astor Piazzola turned into the following representative of tango. He thought of tango as
a piece to be listened to instead of danced, thus, he composed operas, concertos, theater
pieces and films around this art. He rendered Buenos Aires Argentina Tango a novel
feeling that held it alive. Blends of the tango with different beats, like jazz and rock,
dominated the setting.

While this was happening, the original Buenos Aires Argentina Tango was maintained
by protectors leaded by vocalist Roberto “Polaco” Goyeneche and musician Osvaldo
Pugliese.

After the 1950's, the tango all but melted from the environment, as new movements
replaced it during the 60's and 70's. Nevertheless, nowadays, the new generations are
starting to accept Buenos Aires Argentina Tango as a meaningful element of their reality
and past.

Presently, the tango is given a fresh personality by merging its origins with Piazzola, the
flute and guitar, turning it into a rich art again and joining forces to make tango a
forever regent means of expression, the center of which was, is and will ever be, Buenos
Aires, Argentina.
