Nuevo tango
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tango nuevo sometimes misspelled as Nuevo tango is a form of both dance and music. The music, which was born as elements of jazz and classical music were incorporated into traditional Argentinian tango. The most important composer of this style is Ástor Piazzolla, who revolutionized tango by introducing new instruments (e.g. saxophone, electric guitar) and new forms of harmonic and melodic structures into the traditional tango ensemble. Tango Nuevo - the dance covers all improvised (but leadable) moves possible considering the traditional base dance moves of Argentine Tango. Tango Nuevo currently fuses with leadable elements of other dance forms like Salsa, Ceroc or Swing giving birth to the most versatile form of improvisation with a partner dance: Neotango.
