When you’re visiting Uruguay, don’t you dare talk about tango as the exclusive music of Argentina — Uruguayan tango is the real deal.
Uruguay can tango too! In fact, if you’re from Uruguay, you may protest when anyone associates tango with Argentina and doesn’t mention that the genre began almost simultaneously in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Montevideo, Uruguay. In this video we see a performance of “La Cumparsita” composed in Montevideo in in 1919. Yes!
