	Born in the cafés of Buenos Aires in the late 1800’s, Argentine tango is full of haunting melodies, Argentine rhythms, and intense emotion. Argentine tango music is as old as jazz music, with as much variety. The CCP is joined by Tango Colorado dancers, presenting elegant milongas, habaneras and tangos of a forgotten era such as Adiós Nonino, Por Una Cabeza and Milonga del ángel. Experience music and dance of Piazzolla, Gardel, Pugleise and Villoldo, as made famous by Rudolf Valentino and by the gauchos (cowboys) of Buenos Aires. “…..the essential part of the Argentine Tango is the awesome power of stillness”.
