Tango. The sensual dance with the elegantly-dressed dancers pressed close together. The 2x4 beat. This classic music style, with lyrics that emphasize nostalgia, sadness, and lost love. Tango music can be played on solo acoustic guitar, by a guitar duo, or an ensemble, called the "orquesta típica" which includes violins, flute, piano, double bass, and several bandoneóns, possibly with a clarinet. Some songs add a vocalist. The music is given a distinctive air by the plaintive sound of the bandoneon, a squeeze box-style instrument with reeds.

There is a playful rivalry between the two countries regarding the respective influences of their countries. For instance, the most famous score is La Cumparsita by Uruguayan Gerardo Matos Rodríguez but is usually sung with lyrics by Argentinean Pascual Contursi. Initially, it was a music genre from poor slums, influenced by music styles brought by African slaves in the 18th century. It was performed in bars and brothels. It became a hit among the young people in Buenos Aires and Montevideo during the early 20th century. Dancers and orchestras made frequent trips to Europe, and there were Tango booms in Paris, New York, and Berlin. By 1915, the style became codified. The genre declined in the 1930s, as a result of The Great Depression and the restrictions imposed by the Culture Police of the 1930 and 1943 military governments. There was a brief revival during the tenure of Juan Domingo Perón, but it declined again with the renewed restrictions of the 1955 military government, as well as being overshadowed by the new Rock & Roll.

It blended traditional Tango music with jazz improvisation, jazz instruments (like saxophone and electric guitar) and classical orchestral arrangements. This experimentation continued throughout the 1970s and 1980s. While Tango traditionalists at first took issue with this style blending, it became popular and gave the style a renewed public interest.
