Zusammenfassung:"In this illustrated book, Robert Farris Thompson gives us the definitive account of tango, "the fabulous dance of the past hundred years, and the most beautiful, in the opinion of Martha Graham." From its syncretic evolution in the nineteenth century - partaking of European, Andalusian-Gaucho, and, unbeknownst to many, African influences - to its representations by Hollywood and dramatizations in dance halls throughout the world, Thompson shows us tango not only as brilliant choreography but also as text, music, art, and philosophy of life."--BOOK JACKET.
