Interesting facts about tango

The Golden Age of Tango is generally considered to be the period between 1935 and 1955. It started with the powerful dance rhythms of Juan D'Arienzo which inspired people to dance Tango in Buenos Aires in huge numbers. During the Golden Age all aspects of the Tango were in the greatest harmony. Musicians played for dancers and the dancers, inspired by the many great orchestras, created a massive evolution in the dance, providing the market for the many orchestras and encouraging them to compete and reach new heights in Tango dance music. The end of the Golden Age came with the military coup that changed everything in Argentina in 1955. (Source: www.history-of-tango.com)
