Cool! Introducing classic masterpieces of Argentine tango

Argentine tango, the musical style that represents Argentina.

Although Argentine tango is widely known as a genre, it isn’t actually a clearly defined one.

Originally, it was more of a form, without a strict genre definition.

However, its wistful, melancholic melodies grew popular, and recognition of it as a genre spread to what we know today.

Here, we’ve gathered famous pieces of Argentine tango.

We’ve also selected contemporary Argentine tango, so please enjoy to the end!
