Tango Buenos Aires – can anyone tell me the history of tango in Buenos Aires?

Tango Buenos Aires: http://www.buenosairesstay.com Buenos Aires Tango There is much written about the origins of tango in Buenos Aires and the history of tango, but one thing is sure, ‘When you watch the tango, you watch the very essence of Buenos Aires.’ We can be sure that “milonga” (dance establishments) and “the milonga” (a form of dance) predate tango. The word, tango, is most likely derived from the Spanish term, Andalusia Tango, used to describe music of the same period. The word tango is less likely a homophone of the Spanish “tambor” meaning drum, also used by Spanish America to describe the hypnotic beat of South America’s slaves; although I have read compelling argument (far too technical for me) that seems to prove that African beats are most certainly embodied in the tango sound. It seems a safe assumption that milongas and milonga dance are the starting points and a major influence on tango dance in Buenos Aires.
