Not only is there a large volume of music, there is a breadth of stylistic differences between these orchestras as well, which makes it easier for Argentine tango dancers to spend the whole night dancing only Argentine tango. A large amount of tango music has been composed by a variety of different orchestras over the last century. Music Īrgentine tango music is much more varied than ballroom tango music. Only in 2017, Argentine tango has entered the traditional Viennese balls through the prestigious Technische Universität Ball (Technical University Ball), which now includes a milonga in its program. In the Austrian capital Vienna, Argentine tango was deliberately excluded from the program of the 23rd ball of the City of Vienna (year between 19) according to historical documents. Kaiser Wilhelm II, the King of Bavaria and Kaiser Franz Joseph forbid their officers in uniform to dance this new rhythm. In Rome, Vittorio Emanuele III of Savoy banned Argentine tango from the balls in Quirinal Palace. However, within the European society, the feelings towards this new dance were mixed. Only in the decade between 19, Argentine tango started becoming fashionable in the major European capitals such as Paris, Berlin, Rome and Vienna. Īt the beginning, Argentine tango was rejected by the middle and upper classes who were engaging in ballroom dances including the Viennese waltz. It is generally thought that the dance developed in the late 19th century in working-class neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, Argentina and was practiced by Argentine dancers, musicians, and immigrant laborers. However, in recent years, a few tango aficionados have undertaken a thorough research of that history and so it is less mysterious today than before. The origins of tango are unclear because little historical documentation from that era exists.
