 Beginning Argentine Tango
Tango music is probably most distinguished from other types of music by two things: the bandoneon and the lack of drums.
Tango music in Argentina followed much the same evolution as swing music did in the United States.
Because tango is an improvisational dance, you should also be exposed to that aspect of the dance as well.
