In these books on tango, many authors also offer practical guides for those who want to learn to dance tango, with advice on technique, posture and improvisation. |

Tango in Literature: A Journey Through Music, Culture and WordsTango, born in the suburbs of Buenos Aires and Montevideo in the late 19th century, is an art form that has transcended its humble origins to become one of the most recognizable and representative cultural expressions of Argentina and Uruguay. But tango is not just a sensual dance or a melancholic music; it is also a powerful symbol that has crossed and inspired literature in various ways. From its origins as popular music with an urban theme, tango has entered fiction, poetry and even critical essays, influencing authors and poets and becoming a central theme in many works. |
