Passion in dance: The history of the Tango Argentino began at the Río de la Plata: here, in Argentina and Uruguay, a wide variety of peoples came together at the end of the 19th century, and the melting pot of the different cultures gave birth to a dance that stands for devotion and passion like no other. The tango then went on to conquer all of Europe in the 1930's. Astor Piazzolla's sophisticated and highly expressive Tango Nuevo compositions triggered a new worldwide interest in the tango in the 1970's – a fascination that has continued to this day.
