Nuevo Tango

Nuevo Tango emerged in the late 20th century, mainly in Argentina, when composers decided that traditional tango needed a makeover, complete with incidental violin solos and the odd jazz influence to keep things interesting. It marries the sensual rhythms of classic tango with a dash of modernity, so you might find yourself swaying awkwardly whilst contemplating life’s complexities or just wondering if you should have worn your dancing shoes. The genre has turned dance floors into art galleries, proving that you can be both dramatic and exquisite whilst tango-ing your way through existential crises.
