It invites to discover tango in the known space of an illustrated book.

What is tango? As Enrique Santos Discépolo so well said, “tango is a sad thought that can be danced to”.
In late nineteenth-century Buenos Aires - in that funnel of dreams where, day by day, the Rio de La Plata poured in Italian and Spanish, Polish and Russian immigrants, people from the interior of Argentina as well as from neighbouring countries, anxious and fearful seekers of a prosperous and yet elusive future – a different music, which was cadenced and taciturn at times, and unashamed and even scandalous at others began to be danced to.
Tango grew from the shores of the city; it crossed the ocean and conquered Paris. Around the 20’s, it became a sad thought that could not only be danced to but also sung.
