Tango
Tango is a dance for two people, which originated in Argentina. The accompaniment music is 2/4 beat, but it is played intermittently with a strong sense of frustration. Therefore, in actual performance, each quarter note is turned into two eighth notes, so that each bar has four eighth notes. At present, tango is one of the official events of the international standard dance competition.
Tango is said to have originated from the secret dance between lovers, so men used to wear short knives when dancing. Now, although they don't wear short knives, dancers must have a serious expression, look around and watch out for being discovered. All other dances should be smiling. Only when dancing the tango, don't smile and have a serious expression. The body language of tango is very rich, but the standardized tango dance currently used in sports dance competitions is much simpler than the local tango dance in Argentina.
When dancing the tango, the combined posture of men and women is slightly different from other modern dances, which is called "tango positioning". The two sides are closer together, and the right arm of the man and the left arm of the woman are more inward. The bodies should touch each other and the center of gravity is shifted. The man is mainly on his right foot and the woman is on his left foot. Both men and women don't look at each other, and both men and women look to their left when positioning.
actually, the milonga in the tango is a relatively happy tango dance type, which originated from the passionate Habanera dance in Africa and the brisk Poca dance in Europe. Therefore, when male and female dancers cooperate with this lively and playful milonga music, they usually get rid of the deep sadness of the original Argentine tango and turn into the atmosphere of men and women playing with each other?
Tango originated in Buenos Aires and is regarded as a national quintessence by Argentines.
At the end of the 19th century, the young Argentine Republic entered a period of stable development after years of war, and a large number of European immigrants poured into this rich land. Newcomers mostly do odd jobs at docks or construction sites. Whenever night falls, they gather in a small hotel in the slum area to have fun and talk to relieve the loneliness of urban life and the pain of missing their hometown.
Immigrants come from different countries and regions in the world, and they bring different dances and music. Tango is a gorgeous flower that grows in this rich land.
Tango is a comprehensive art with unique style, which is dominated by Italian and Spanish styles, mixed with some rhythms of black music and dance, and integrates music, dance, singing and poetry.
Tango music has a lively rhythm and its distinctive syncopation. The dance steps are gorgeous, elegant, passionate and varied, and the crossing, kicking, jumping and spinning are dazzling. The singer is sometimes passionate, sometimes crying, or cynical, or feeling sad. The lyrics use a lot of street slang. When dancing, men wear bow ties and dark evening dresses, and women wear long skirts with high slits on one side.
Tango comes from humble origins. At first, it was only performed in dilapidated warehouses or even brothels in the port. The audience was inferior to the coolies, so it was despised by the upper class. However, the charm of this art form is irresistible. By the beginning of the 2th century, tango had been generally accepted by the public, and its golden age came in the 194s, with a large number of songwriters, singers and dancers emerging.
At present, Argentina has a huge tango art team. As an art form to express the daily life of Buenos Aires people, tango is deeply loved by people for its artistic charm of appreciating elegance and vulgarity.
In recent years, the tango industry in Argentina has developed rapidly and achieved remarkable results. The tango industry, with musicians, dancers, music tapes and books as the main body, has created an annual value of $2 billion in the world, and Argentina has received a return of $18 million from it. After five years, the return rate will climb to $4 million. According to industry insiders, US$ 18 million is equivalent to the sum of foreign exchange earned from the export of Argentine wine and other alcoholic beverages. In five years' time, the US$ 4 million will be equivalent to half of Albania's annual foreign exchange earnings from meat exports (US$ 829 million), and will greatly exceed the combined foreign exchange earnings from fishing (US$ 297 million) and footwear (US$ 36 million).
In the past, the main Shang Yan countries of tango were the United States and German. In recent years, due to a series of effective measures taken by the Albanian government for legal protection and policy support, as well as frequent visits and large-scale advertising campaigns by the Albanian tango performing groups, the art of tango has won a large number of audiences in Europe, Asia and other places, and has formed a strong "tango fever".
according to a survey conducted by an internationally renowned consulting company, the popularity of the Argentine tango brand can be compared with that of Coca-Cola in the United States. The company believes that the tango in Argentina will be the fastest growing export project in the world in the next five years.
Tango: a noble and elegant dance of two people intertwined with a gorgeous beat of intimate contact; The rapid dancing of feet, filled with hot air, full of passion and melancholy music, is the tango, which is elegant and inspiring! Originated in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, in the 198s, immigrants from Europe and Africa combined with local residents' culture to develop a new musical form-tango. In order to relieve homesickness and loneliness in the new world, those immigrants developed new dances and music to fill homesickness, which will spread to the middle and lower classes in Argentina, the pulling action between street vagrants and benefactors, and the confrontation between two men fighting for women earlier, which combined with each other to develop a kind of power. In addition, those immigrants used the musical instrument Bandoneon (similar to accordion) from Germany to play the melody that accompanied the dance. The melancholy and sentimental style was a portrayal of their mood at that time. The sadness about their fate and future swallowed their souls, and they were indifferent to the staggered and passionate pace of tango. Therefore, tango is the expression of the sad dance! It has become the music and dance of the people of Argentina. Later, after the baptism of European theaters and chamber music, tango music tends to be more mature and compiled in movements, and it has become a social dance loved by the upper class.
Tango can be said to be the most typical Latin American artistic expression, which is quite unique and compatible. Tango originated from popular culture and has been handed down as a passionate mainland cultural heritage. Now it has become the most artistic vitality and mysterious Latin art.
Tango is an eternal battlefield for men and women. It defines the behavior of love, and this behavior will be shown in the form and style of dance. The usual performance rules and forms of tango are limited, but the imagination and passion are infinite.
Tango dance originated from tangono, a folk dance in central and western Africa. In the 19th century, a large number of immigrants from Europe and Africa flooded into Argentina, and many people were temporarily stranded in Buenos Aires because they had nowhere to take refuge, so brothels and bars near the pier became the main places for them to indulge in debauchery and drown their sorrows. At this time, the song and dance forms brought by immigrants from European countries such as Spain and Africa merged with local indigenous culture to form tango, which was originally famous with the name "Baile Con Corte" (a dance with pause). Later, people who liked Buenos Aires changed this dance in two ways. First, they changed the so-called "Polka Rhythm" into "Habanella Rhythm", and then they called this dance "Tango".
When tangono was first introduced to America, it merged some Latin American folk dance styles, forming two kinds of tango dances, Mexican and Argentine. Later, tango was introduced to Europe, and influenced by European folk dances, it formed three kinds of tango dances: Spanish, Italian and British royal. The predecessor of the contemporary international standard tango dance is the British royal tango dance, which combines the essence of all kinds of tango dances in the world, and enjoys the reputation of "the king of dance" because of its strong and straightforward style. Tango dance has a beat of 2/4 and a speed of 33 bars per minute. Its basic rhythm is strong and exciting Peng Cha Cha | Peng Cha Peng Cha |. In recent years, its drumming sound has become more prominent, and it has been changed to Peng Peng | Peng De Er Peng |.
Tango, as a kind of national dance, has long been known to the public, but its moving and static dance steps, glance left and right eyes, and distant and strange music make tango put on a mysterious and strange coat.
The most striking feature of the tango dance step is the "crab walking cat step". When the dance steps need to move forward, the dancers move wildly; When the dance steps need to go backwards, the dancers move sideways and obliquely forward. At the same time, the dance steps of tango dancers are often fast and slow with the change of music beat, so tango is also called "the dance of instantaneous pause". In this way, the tango dance steps have formed the characteristics of wanting to advance and retreating, strewn at random, and moving and moving. In addition, the tango dancer pays attention to the vertical upper body, the heel of both feet is lifted, and the knees are slightly bent. All movements are the feeling of downward extension of strength, and the dance is very calm and powerful. When excellent tango dancers dance, we can hardly see the movement, only the position at the end of the movement, only the line, speed and the constantly changing center of gravity, which gives people a firm and angular feeling. Argentine tango is dominated by calf movements. Male and female dancers jump out a series of dazzling dance steps with skillful cooperation, and the intertwined limbs fully show the beauty of the human body. Tango dancers have serious facial expressions and stare at each other affectionately, but from time to time they quickly turn their heads and look around. There is also a legend about the origin of this action, saying that a sailor had a girlfriend before. But one day when they were dancing when they came back from the sea, the sailor found that his girlfriend was always turning her head, so he turned around and found that his girlfriend was looking at his new partner, and the sailor was suddenly jealous. From then on, male dancers quickly turned their heads to supervise the movements of their partners. The statement of the association.
However, apart from the unique and graceful body shape of the dancers, the biggest difference between the Argentine tango and the national tango is that the Argentine tango is emotional. In the eyes of Argentines, tango is like a war or struggle in which men and women voluntarily participate. The strong eye contact and physical contact between male and female partners is the soul of tango.
Argentine tango music is a mixture of African, Indian, Spanish, Latin and other dance elements, and it is also full of deep feelings like dance. The most typical band form of tango music is the rhythm played by piano and bass, and the melody played by hexagonal accordion and violin. Among them, the hexagonal accordion originated from Germany is the most distinctive tango instrument. From the melody of the hexagonal accordion, we can hear the deep homesickness of Argentines.
