The tango has probably traveled further and gone through more changes than almost any other dance. African slaves brought the tango to Haiti and Cuba in the 18th century; in Cuba, the tango was affected by the local Cuban dance, called“the Havana”. From there people from other countries took the tango to Argentina(阿根廷) in the nineteenth century where it was changed once again and became popular in the poor areas. It was an erotic(粗俗的) dance of working-class people by this time, which made it diffcult for middle-class Europeans to accept it.
But at the beginning of this century, the tango was refined(加工) so that it was much better. The tango came widespread in England and in the USA.
Once accepted, the tango became very popular in London and Paris. People began to follow the Viennese waltz (华尔兹) custom of dancing in restaurants between the courses of a meal. The owners of the restaurants encouraged this for the pleasure of the customers and for the benefit of their digestion(消化). Afternoon“tango tea”appeared everywhere. Latin American music was played for tango.
