Brief introduction.Buenos Aires was, and is, the undisputed capital of the tango, Mecca of all young person which it drew notes on pentagram, that transmits his to feel poetic to the paper or, that aprons the throat to sing, although the creativity of that life that moved between Creoles, tanos, the displaced Gallegos and gauchos era, and is, shared by smaller sisters like Montevideo, Rosary, Cordova and Mendoza, among others. Because the hopes and the problems were, and are, equal in all the great cities of the region. In all of them it was, and it is, the same broth of culture.E1 tango followed the eventful journeys of people and it accompanied them in these decades. It had his moments of glory as they had Uruguayan Argentineans and. And also the periods of pain and crisis. In that sense, he was shared in common with the evolution of the towns. But not without an attractive dose of picardia, it knew to have his autonomy and to universalize themselves. That one is the great paradox of the tango. For inside, it walked at the speed of the society. When the River of the Silver "ate the world" with flourishing economies, wonderful artists, thinkers of great reputation and an unbeatable soccer, the tango showed all its might. In the times of pain and crisis, in these countries the sort seemed sleepy and, often, defeated by novelerÃa that arrived from the outside. In the world, nevertheless, he maintained all his use and, for example, the spectators shook in the cinemas of the Lavalle Street in Buenos Aires, or of 18 of Julio in Montevideo as in innumerable foreign films they sounded the first agreed ones of any tango. Outside he lived and he was recognized, although in the River of the Silver they killed it time and time again. But also time and time again the tango resurged of its apparent ashes with new and shining authors, singing notables and spectacular dancers. Because he is inmortal and it has the vital force that, in greater or smaller proportion, they give the towns him through the years. So that the tango dies, it will be necessary that the River of the Silver disappears of the Earth face. As that does not happen, the tango will not disappear either. And for that reason, every certain time, it will be necessary to eternally update the history of the tango, adding to him the new thing that will be contributing. The serious and warm voice of Insipid Julio escapes of the plate of a disc, it dominates the atmosphere and it opens the way to a reflection that, more than that, is certainty and verification in spite of the interrogatory tone of verses: Who is saying to you, Che pebete, that passed the time firulete? Without a doubt, who made that bold affirmation is not of this world and she does not know that there will be tango while there is a desperate type to kiss the lips of a pebeta on flower, a treason to count, a complaint that to transmit or a joy that to share. |

Origin of the word tango.
Between the many mysteries that the tango locks up, first he is the one
of his own denomination. The voice tango is in the cultures African, Hispanic
and colonial. According to some theories, tango would derive from tang,
that in one of the languages spoken in the black continent it means to
feel, to touch and to approach. Between the bantúes, in addition,
there are two languages that denominate tanga and tangui. And between
the sudanoguineanas languages Figure tangalé. Peculiarly, the Hispanic
content of the word approaches African tang. Tango in Castilian is considered
a voice derived from tangir, that in old Spanish it is equivalent to toll,
and of tangere, that is, to touch in Latin. In the colony, as well, tango was the denomination that the black gave their patches of percussion. They pronounced it like acute word: tangó. Y tangó as also the dances that organized the African arrived at the force to the Rio de Plata meetings such disorders were created that the montevideanos rich, and car-considered respectable, got to request to the Virrey Francisco Javier Elío who prohibited "the tangos of the black". The Honduran meaning that offers the dictionary, referred to a species of drum that makes the natives, seems to approach al felt African of the word. It is difficult to know if one is about a chance or a transculturacion. |
Conformation.Single like curiosity, because in principle they do not have entailment with the origin of the River plate tango, it is possible to mention that a region of Japan is called Tango, like an infantile celebration of that country, and which formerly in Brazil tango was synonymous of samba. The musical pretango,
sorts and the interpreters who served as antecedents the tango sheltered
in bars of sailors, in quarters of Chinese cuarteleras, milongas of bad
fame, doubtful cabarets and brothels. |
