Talk:Tango music

Does anyone have any links that would help show differences in style/orchestra? I am thinking about the same song - different artists; something like "el choclo" or "la cumparsita" comes up. We would only need short sequences to highlight the differences...?! dekay 14:22, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Que vergoña dedicarle mucho mas lugar al gotan project que a todos los grandes del tango... en fin, uno se pone viejo. pero igual: oh my gosh.

I removed the paragraph below because it isn't relevant. Tango has been featured in lots of movies, TV shows and other parts of pop culture -- as a matter of fact, tango has long constituted a major part of pop culture. Tuf-Kat

Shakira released a song — "Te Aviso, Te Anuncio (Tango)" — which starts with a tango-like part (and also features some seconds of tango dancing in its video). The musical Chicago by John Kander and Fred Ebb was recently made into a film and also features a tango, the "Cell Block Tango", where murderers or, at least, accused murderers from a women's prison in Chicago greet newcomer to the jail (Roxie Hart) in their own way. The soundtrack of Waking Life features tango music prominently; the feature track is called "The Twenty-First Century Tango". Another movie featuring a good tango scene is Moulin Rouge, to a fusion of the Police song "Roxanne" with Mariano Mores's "Tanguera" — creating "El tango de Roxanne".

Center only in Argentina?

Most of the people think that Tango was born in Montevideo (Uruguay), place also were the most famous Tango (La Cumparsita) was composed. Though, I don't see any good mention to Uruguay.

Ahh but don't forget to mention that the tango is also featured in recent popular culture movies. "Guess Who" with Ashton Kutcher and Bernie Mac and also the most recent "Rent!"
