The music of the Argentine Tango is more varied than that of ballroom dancing  and features a clear repetitive pulse with a strong tango rhythm.

There is a large repertoire of music when it comes to the Argentine Tango. Having a varied selection of songs meant that Argentine Tango dancing could go late into the night.

The most notable and representative composers of Argentine Tango music were actually descendants of Italian immigrants: Di Sarli, d’Arienzo, Troilo and Pugliese.

During the 1990’s, the Argentine Tango experienced a resurgence of popularity as young dancers began pairing the tango steps to more contemporary music such as trip-hop and blues.
