englischInitially conceived as a form of music and dance with vulgar connotations, tango emerged in the large cities located in the River Plate region in Argentina and Uruguay in the late 19th century. Brought to the public’s attention via early forms of the media (records, the radio and film), tango established itself in Europe before finding a mass audience in the region in which it originated from the 1930s to the 1950s. Tango’s revival in Europe in the 1980s also reignited its popularity in the River Plate region.

Tango is a media product that pervades all social strata and transcends both regional and national borders. It’s not only the music and the dance itself that have turned tango into a pop-cultural phenomenon, but its music’s lyrics, the visual imagery it creates and its specific character. This book examines tango’s historical, social and media dimensions in 13 contributions.
