It is neither easy to classify nor to describe this phenomenon we call the tango. We can say, however, that it is a form of expression that best described the state of mind of a certain part of the population at a certain period in its history that no other form of expression was able to achieve.

" The tango is a sad thought that can be danced. " said the poet-philosopher of this dance, Enrique Santos Discepolo.We can find, in numerous writings, different elements that influenced this art form.

The other one is Nostalgia; the sadness and loneliness of one estranged from his homeland, and the bitterness that this can entail.
