Where tango began: the port and the patios

Tango clásico in Buenos Aires grew from the bottom of society up. UNESCO credits the urban lower classes of Buenos Aires and Montevideo, on the shores of the River Plate, with developing it.5 The city tourism board says the dance took shape in the working-class immigrant districts in the mid-19th century, while Argentina's national culture authority places its emergence in the port areas towards the end of that century.6,7

Both accounts point to the same world: the waterfront, the taverns and the shared courtyards of San Telmo and La Boca, which the tourism board names as the first home of the music and the dance, long before it reached the ballrooms and the stages.8 In La Boca, the wood and sheet-metal houses of Caminito still show what a conventillo looked like, the communal homes that Genoese immigrants built from the late 19th century.9

Those houses were crowded, noisy and full of music from many countries, Italian songs next to Spanish guitars and African drums. Neighbours shared kitchens, washing lines and patios, and every patio could become a dance floor. Caminito itself was rescued in the 1950s, when neighbours and the painter Benito Quinquela Martín turned the tenements into a street museum.10 Walk it by day to picture the world tango came from, and look up at the balconies and the bright patched walls.

The African roots that were written out

Before tango there was candombe, a rhythm born in Africa that made its home in the streets of Buenos Aires.15 The word was first written down in the 18th century, for the music, dance and Bantu-Catholic religion of enslaved Angolan and Congolese people in the River Plate.11 After Argentina abolished slavery in 1853, African communities gathered in Monserrat and San Telmo, keeping a tradition the tourism board calls a pivotal influence on tango.12

Argentina's culture authority goes further: it names the milonga, candombe and other genres of African descent as a significant part of tango's birth.7 It also admits that as the dance became fashionable with the upper classes and abroad, that African influence was minimised and often left out altogether.16 The City of Buenos Aires now describes tango as the fusion of Afro-American, criollo and European immigrant contributions.1

You can still hear the drums. Candombe groups practise in San Telmo's streets on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.17 The larger llamadas, parades of drum troupes, take place at the start of spring in La Boca, on the first weekend of November in Monserrat and on the first weekend of December in San Telmo.18 Standing in the crowd as the troupes pass is the most vivid history lesson the city offers, and it costs nothing.

Immigrants, cafés and a mixed identity

The other half of the story arrived by ship. The city's own tango page describes a fusion of African culture with gaucho and native traditions, enriched by European immigrants, mainly Spanish and Italian, and by settlers from the Middle East.31 UNESCO sums up that blend as a single identity formed from European newcomers, the descendants of enslaved Africans and the criollos of the region.30

Cafés gave that mix somewhere to meet. Founded in 1858, Café Tortoni is the city's oldest café, and Carlos Gardel kept a reserved table there.22,32 Café de los Angelitos on Rivadavia was where, one night in 1917, the duo of Gardel and José Razzano was signed by the artistic director of the Odeón record label.13 Confitería La Ideal, from 1912, later gave its first floor to milongas, and its restored dome still crowns the room.33,34

By the 1930s, according to the tourism board, tango had conquered Buenos Aires and then the world, carried by romance, nostalgia and an embrace the tourism board itself describes as daringly close.35 Several of the cafés where that story played out still serve coffee today, which makes a history walk through the centre easy and rewarding, with a cortado at each stop and a museum or a monument in between.

The bandoneon, the sound of the city

The bandoneon, a square button accordion with a bellows, gives tango its unmistakable voice. Porteños say it does not play but cries, and once you have heard it in a dark café you will understand why.78 The most prized instruments were made in Germany before the Second World War, and keeping them alive is skilled work.79 Each of the 276 reeds must be tuned individually.80 A good old bandoneon is a treasure its owner rarely sells.

Argentina celebrates the instrument every year on 11 July, its National Bandoneon Day, a date worth knowing if you love the sound.81 In Puerto Madero, the Tango Monument, an abstract bellows shape 3.5 metres high that echoes a bandoneon, was unveiled in 2007 on Music Day.28 Its abstract form turns the instrument into a public symbol of the music, and it makes a good stop on a riverside walk past the old docks of Puerto Madero.

The bandoneon also shaped the orchestras of the golden age. The tourism board places that age between the 1920s and the 1950s, when large orquestas típicas came to define the tango sound.2 Several bandoneons played side by side, with piano, violins and double bass, and the dancers on the floor followed their phrasing. When you hear a recording from that era in a milonga today, listen for the bandoneons breathing together.

Carlos Gardel, the voice of tango

The city tourism board calls Carlos Gardel the most famous tango singer of all.82 His birth is still argued over, between Uruguay in 1887 and Toulouse, France, in 1890.83 What is certain is that he came to Buenos Aires as a boy with his mother and grew up around the Abasto market in Balvanera.84 In 1927 he bought a house on Jean Jaurès street for his mother, Berta, which is now the Carlos Gardel House Museum.23

Gardel loved the horse races at Palermo, owned a horse called Lunático and dedicated the tango Leguisamo solo to it.71 His death in a plane crash in Medellín, Colombia, in 1935, shocked the country.3 When his remains came home in 1936, a huge memorial was held at the Luna Park arena.24 He lies in Chacarita Cemetery, where the composer Aníbal Troilo is also buried, and his tomb is one of the most visited there.69,85

Visitors still leave lit cigarettes in the hand of his statue at Chacarita.70 In the Abasto, Pasaje Zelaya has 6 portraits of him painted on shop shutters, and a statue of the Zorzal Criollo, the Creole thrush, as Argentines call him, has stood by the old market since 2000.66,68,67 The house museum keeps his personal items and photographs, and organises concerts and film screenings in the rooms where he lived.86

Golden age floors, concert halls and tango nuevo

The golden age was also the age of the dancers. Argentina's heritage register says the close milonguero style was born on the packed floors of the 1940s, out of the need to dance in very little space.87 The poets were busy too: at a café table on the corner of San Juan and Boedo, Homero Manzi wrote the tango Sur in 1948, with music by Aníbal Troilo.14 The café has carried Manzi's name since 1981.88

From the 1960s, tango moved into concert halls, with richer orchestration and more dramatic arrangements.89 Astor Piazzolla led that change and made tango famous around the world once more, as music to listen to as well as to dance.90 Meanwhile the city kept its tango houses: Bar Sur opened in San Telmo in January 1967, and the singer Edmundo Rivero bought El Viejo Almacén in 1969 to make it a tango venue.25,26

Tango has kept changing since. Today you can hear orchestras that recreate the golden-age sound alongside tango punks and electronic acts that push the genre in new directions, often in the same week and the same neighbourhood.91 The Usina del Arte and the CCK often host free concerts, so you can hear contemporary tango for nothing.77 The milongas, meanwhile, still dance by the rules of the 1940s in halls across the city.92

Heritage today, and tango dance classes in Buenos Aires

In 2009 UNESCO added tango, shared by Argentina and Uruguay, to its world list of intangible heritage.4,5 Argentina added the milonguero social dance to its own register of intangible heritage on 15 January 2019, recognising the social style danced in its halls.93 The National Tango Academy, created in 1990 on Avenida de Mayo, houses the World Tango Museum, which follows the story from 1850 to the present.27,29

The Carlos Gardel House Museum, at Jean Jaurès 735, opens from 11 to 19 h on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays and from 11 to 20 h on weekends and holidays, and closes on Tuesdays.94,65 General entry for foreign visitors is ARS 10,000 and ARS 2,000 for residents with an ID, and children under 12 go free.75,95 The tourist board's free Saturday walk, Tango and the Abasto Market, covers the same streets.76

History reads better with your own feet on the floor. The city's August festival now spreads across more than 50 venues in 34 neighbourhoods, with almost 800 couples from more than 45 countries in the Mundial.19 If you want to join in, tango dance classes in Buenos Aires start with the same walk and embrace the milongueros danced in the 1940s, and a private hour with a professional dancer near your hotel is an easy first step.87
