          History of the tango

          Not to be confused with Histoire du Tango.

          Tango, a distinctive tango dance and the corresponding musical style of tango music, began in the working-class port neighborhoods of Buenos Aires (Argentina) and Montevideo (Uruguay); spanning both sides of the Rio de la Plata.[1]

          Etymology

          There are numbers of theories about the origin of the word "tango".

          One of the more popular in recent years has been that it came from the Niger–Congo languages of Africa.[2][3][4] Another theory is that the word "tango", already in common use in Andalusia to describe a style of music, lent its name to a completely different style of music in Argentina and Uruguay.[5]

          Origin

          The Tango derives from the Cuban habanera, the Argentine milonga and Uruguayan candombe,[6] and is said to contain elements from the African community in Buenos Aires, influenced both by ancient African rhythms and the music from Europe.
