Tango is a musical genre and its associated dance forms that originated in Buenos Aires watercolors, Argentina and Montevideo, Uruguay, and spread to the rest of the world soon after that.
Early tango was known as tango criollo, or simply tango. Today, there are many tango dance styles, including Argentine Tango, Uruguayan Tango, Ballroom tango (American and International styles), Finnish tango and vintage tangos. What many consider to be the authentic tango paintingis that closest to that originally danced in Argentina and Uruguay, though other types of tango have developed into mature dances in their own right.
