It found its home in the city’s marginal districts, where it was embraced and shaped by young men who told stories of prostitutes, petty thieves, and disappointed lovers through its music and movements. Chronicling the stories told through tango’s lyrics, Mike Gonzalez and Marianella Yanes reveal in \u003ci\u003eTango \u003c\/i\u003ehow the dance went from slumming it in the brothels and cabarets of lower-class Buenos Aires to the ballrooms of Paris, London, Berlin, and beyond.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\nTracing the evolution of tango, Gonzalez and Yanes set its music, key figures, and the dance itself in their place and time. They describe how it was not until Paris went crazy for tango just before World War I that it became acceptable for middle-class Argentineans to perform the seductive dance, and they explore the renewed enthusiasm with which each new generation has come to it. Telling the sexy, enthralling story of this stylish and dramatic dance, \u003ci\u003eTango\u003c\/i\u003e is a book for casual fans and ballroom aficionados alike.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"series-name\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/en-ca\/reverb\" class=\"secondary series-name\" data-a8n=\"pdp_see-collection__link\"\u003eReverb\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec publisher-spec\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb class=\"label\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003eReaktion Books\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec shippingdimensions-spec\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb class=\"label\"\u003eShipping dimensions\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003e8\" H x 6\" W x 1\" L\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec upc-spec\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb class=\"label\"\u003eISBN\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003e9781780231075\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Librairie Résonance Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51565930184836,"sku":null,"price":32.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0950\/9801\/1780\/files\/70BBD92C-FD45-4277-A7C8-847340FFEF90.jpg?v=1772041332","url":"https:\/\/librairieresonance.com\/products\/tango-sex-and-rhythm-of-the-city","provider":"Librairie Résonance Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
