AT THE BEGINNING, WAS THE CANDOMBE DRUMMING! |
|
|
|
| 1/ MALE AND FEMALE DANCERS WERE INSPIRED BY THE CANDOMBE DRUMMING. THEY DANCED A SOLO DANCING... THEY WERE FIRED UP! | 2/ LADIES WERE EQUALLY FIRED UP BY THE DRUMMING. THEY TOO DANCED SOLO,..TEASING THE MALE PARTNERING IN THE TANGO CIRCLE ( They called it...TANGO : the place where they met) |
| 3/ VERY NATURALLY, THE CLEVER MALE DANCER, INVITED THE WONDERFUL FEMALE CREATURE, TO DANCE...A BIT CLOSER... | 4/ THE REPETITION OF THE HABANERA IN THE DRUMMING BECAME THE NATURAL BIRTHER OF THE MILONGA. SO, PEOPLE WENT TO TANGO, TO DANCE THE MILONGA... (today, we go to the milonga to dance Tango). |
|
|
|
MORE ...AND MORE MILONGA DANCING ENSUED. THE BEST DANCERS KEPT BEING INSPIRED BY THE CANDOMBE! |
|
|
5/ THE WEEKLY EVENTS OF THE DESCENDENTS OF THE ENSLAVED AFRICANS, DRUMMING AND DANCING, WAS A POPULAR EVENT... THE NAME USED TO CALL THE PLACE WHERE THEY MET, BECAME THE NAME OF THE CONTENT: TANGO!... TANGO MOVES WERE NOW GOING TO ENTER THE BROTHELS OF BUENOS AIRES. TANGO WILL ALSO ENTER THE WHITES - ONLY NIGHT CLUBS OF THE CITY...TANGO IS SO DEFINED THAT IT COULD NOT BE CALLED OTHERWISE... IT IS T A N G O !! THE MUSICIANS, SLOWED DOWN THE MILONGA - CANDOMBE RHYTHM...CANDOMBE WAS BANNED IN BUENOS AIRES... THE DRUMMING IN TANGO, REMOVED... CANDOMBE FOUND REFUGE IN URUGUAY (former province of Argentina, that had seceded) ... THE BANDONEON WAS ADDED... THE TRANSFORMATION CONTINUES ON. THE EMBRYONIC NUEVO TANGO IS EXPERIMENTED... MORE IS YET TO COME. THAT IS TANGO WITH ITS AFRO-ROOTS! USEFUL TO REMEMBER THAT UNESCO ATTRIBUTED THE MATERNITY OF TANGO TO ARGENTINA AND URUGUAY!
