Uruguayan tango

Uruguayan tango

The form of dance that originated in the neighborhoods of Montevideo, Uruguay towards the end of the 1800s, as a variation of Argentine tango, a native of Buenos Aires [ [http://www.tangoshow.eu/eng/historia_tango.shtml TangoShow, Tango's European Portal: "The birth of tango"] ] , which acquired great influence in the region of the Rio de la Plata. This kind of tango is a blend of the "Uruguayan milonga", as Jorge Luis Borges stated, and the rhythms of the candombe. It consists of a variety of styles that developed in different regions and eras of Argentina and Uruguay. The dance is often accompanied by several musical forms such as:
*Tango
*Milonga

One of the most famous and well-known tango song is La Cumparsita, written by Gerardo Matos Rodriguez, in Montevideo in 1919.
