In the past two decades tango has experienced a popular resurgence
worldwide. Almost universally familiar as a dance form, tango is
also a distinctive genre of song or cancion that was born in the
impoverished outskirts of late 19th-century Buenos Aires. Whether
sung in Spanish, or as would happen later, Italian, Russia,
twenty-six songs illustrate the growth and diversity of tango from
its Argentine roots to its dissemination throughout Europe and into
the Middle East and beyond. These songs are represented both in
print - with melody lines, chord boxes and lyrics in their original
language and in English - and through classic recordings by the
original artists on the accompanying CD. The CD features 26 classic
recordings by the original artists.
