[Tango-L] Tango is Argentine (AJ Azure)

[Norman Tiber]

A. J. Azure’s iintriguing post regarding “cultural fusion” in America  
began with “one word jazz.” IMHO, the odyssey should begin with “one  
word ragtime.”
In addition, it is interesting to note the similarities in  
“circumstances” (i.e. influence of black music and large immigrant  
populations) that led, during the beginning of the 20th century, to  
tango music/dance in Argentina and ragtime music/dance in America.  
Both set off a music/dance craze that spread around the world.
