Tango originated in Buenos Aires in Argentina in the mid-19th century. Over the years, a few variations of Tango have emerged and so the original variation is aplty known as Argentine Tango. The working class in Buenos Aires developed Argentine Tango as a way of identifying themselves as a group.
Music:
Tango music is played in 2/4, at walking speed. The music and lyrics (if any) usually have a sad theme. Tango Nuevo is changing all this. The music is getting faster and "happier". It's possible to hear hints of Waltz in the music at times.
Dance:
Tango is a very structured dance, unlike a lot of other Latin American forms of dance. The upper body places straight with a ballroom hold. The leaders lead with their arms like ballroom dancing but the frame is a bit closer. The feet move on the first beat and the other foot usually drags and "catches up" on the second beat. There are a lot of variations, but Angentine Tango is the most common form.
