Argentine tango
A short history of Argentine tango
Argentine tango is a music genre and social dance that come in Argentina and Uruguay. Argentine tango music is much more diverse than ballroom tango music that is the twigs of ballroom dance (ballroom dance refers to a set of partner dances, which are enjoyed both socially and competitively around the world) that branched away from its original Argentine roots by allowing European, American, Hollywood, and competing influences in the style and performance of the dance. A large amount of tango music has been composed by a variety of different orchestras over the last millennium. Not only is there a large volume of music, there is a breadth of stylistic disparities between these orchestras as well, which makes it easier for Argentine tango dancers to spend the complete night time dancing only Argentine tango.
So the best known element of Argentine culture is the tango dance. Tango has been identified as many things- "a secret danced between two people", "not a dance although an obsession", "a sad thought that is danced", "that reptile from the brothels". It has been said that "tango is not in the paws. It is in the heart. "
We do not know the exact origin of the word "Tango". Although the particular origins of the Tango are not clear, it does go back well over 100 years. In the 1890s, the word "Tango" first appeared connoting a specific dance. It is now generally believed to have been used in the old "Candombes", or strict festivals, held by the descendents of Black slaves. During these festivals (Candombes), there was much dancing to the rhythm of the 'Tang" drums, plus curiously, participants used the word 'Tang' for almost everything, -the dance itself, the drums used, and even the places where these religious rituals were carried out. It is quite probable that the "Tang" became today's "Tango". (Needless to say, the 'Whites' thought the dancing to be immoral).

What's the background tango music they play on the American Express Blue Card commercials?
This had been drivin' me nuts. It's got a distinct Latin tango sound to it. It sounds like a classic old tango number from maybe back in the 40's, because every time I hear it, it reminds me of some old movie where it played in the background. Name that song! And for extra points, name the movie!! lol
