Did you know that the word โtangoโ is Latin and means โI touchโ? Tangoโs roots are in Latin America where the musical genre developed hand in hand with the dance. Tango arrived in Finland with a bang in 1913, and in the following years Finns not only adopted it but made it their own. The second coming of tango took place in the 1960s, and this time Finnsโ tango fever reached almost hysterical proportions. Still today Finland has a passionate relationship with tango, and both the musical genre and the dance style have become a part of our culture and identity.

Tiesitko, ettรค sana โtangoโ on latinaa ja tarkoittaa โkosketanโ? Tangon juuret ovat Latinalaisessa Amerikassa, jossa tango musiikkina kehittyi kรคsi kรคdessรค tanssin kanssa. Suomeen tango rantautui rytinรคllรค vuonna 1913, jolloin suomalaiset kehittivรคt musiikista ja tanssista oman versionsa. Toisen tulemisen tango koki 1960-luvulla, jolloin tangokuumeen kerrotaan olleen miltei hysteeristรค. Yhรค edelleen me suomalaiset rakastamme tangoa, ja se on vahva osa kulttuuriamme ja identiteettiรคmme.
