Cultures collide...

The tango is no stranger to cultural fusions. The dance originated in Argentina, brought by immigrants from Europe to Buenos Aires and contains African dance forms.
In my experience in the milongas, I have met Mexicans, Argentines, Spaniards, Moroccans, Germans, Americans, Italians and French and Japanese people. Expats come and dance, and because of the nature of the tango, it is very possible that two people from across the globe come together on the dance floor and, since they don´t exchange words, not even know it.
