The later age of tango, or tango nuevo, was established in the 1950s and featured a fusion of jazz and classic music. Neo tango came along next and with it the adoption of more electronic elements.

Whether you’re dancing to tango music or simply listening to it in the background, you can’t help but be moved by its grace and elegance.
