Argentineantangois a global phenomenon. Since its origin among immigrants from the slums ofBuenos Aires and Montevideo; it has crossed and re-crossed many borders.Yet; never before has tango been danced by somany people and in so many different places as today. Argentinean tango is morethan a specific music and style of dancing. It is also a cultural imaginarywhich embodies intense passion; hyper-heterosexuality; and dangerous exoticism.In the wake of its latest revival; tango has become both a cultural symbol ofArgentinean national identity and a transnational cultural space in which a modest; yet growing number of dancers from differentparts of the globe meet on the dance floor.
