Tango
From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Genre
Tango arose in the late nineteenth century in the port districts of Buenos Aires and Montevideo, where European immigrants, Afro-Argentines and people from the countryside came together. The rhythm has its roots in the habanera, and the bandoneón, a concertina-type accordion from Germany, became the principal instrument. The singer Carlos Gardel made tango world-famous in the 1920s and 1930s; from the 1950s, Astor Piazzolla renewed it with influences from jazz and classical music.
Listening
Listening tip. In Por una Cabeza, hear the bandoneón and the violins, and the rhythm that keeps pausing briefly and then pressing on again.
