Argentina - National Tango Day
National Tango Day is celebrated in Argentina on December 11. This date was chosen to commemorate the birthdays of two men known for their contribution to promoting Argentine tango: Carlos Gardel and Julio de Caro.
Tango is a partner dance that originated in the second half of the 19th century in the Rio de la Plata region that forms the natural border between Argentina and Uruguay. It was born in the poor port ares, where natives lived alongside former slaves and European immigrants. Tango results from a combination of the Czech polka, German waltz, Bohemian schottische, Polish mazurka, Cuban habanera, Argentinian milonga, and African-Uruguayan candombe. In other words, its was born from Native American, African and European culture.
