Tango

Using the Leading Whole Tone Scale - The Tango is a partner dance and social dance that originated the 1800's along the natural border between Argentina and Uruguay. It was born in the impoverished port areas of these countries with enslaved African populations. The tango is the result of a combination of African Candombe, Spanish-Cuban Habenera, and Argentinian Milonga. The tango was frequently practiced in the brothels and bars of ports where business owners employed bands to entertain their patrons with music. The tango then spread to the rest of the world and many variations of this dance currently exist.
