Tango is a style of ballroom dance music in 2/4 or 4/4 time that originated among European immigrant populations in the area of the Rio de la Plata (which is between Argentina and Uruguay)- collectively, the "Rioplatenses".
It is traditionally played by a sextet, known as
the orquesta tipica, which includes two violins,
piano, double bass, and two bandoneons. Earlier forms
of this ensemble sometimes included flute, clarinet and
guitar. Tango may be purely instrumental or may include a vocalist.
Tango is well-known across much of the world, along
with the associated tango dance.
