The Tango in the United States: A History ReviewMany younger dancers, and some not-so-young ones think that the Tango arrived in the U.S. in 1985 when the show, "Tango Argentino", debuted in New York City. Carlos Groppa more than corrects this error in his book, "Tango in the United States: A History" (McFarland Co.). He takes us back to the first appearances of Tango at the beginning of the 20th century. Mr. Groppa asserts that the Tango has outlasted all other dance fads in the U.S., through good times and bad. In text and visual illustration, we meet fascinating dancers, musicians, and actors who helped make the Tango a permanent part of the American scene, from Vernon & Irene Castle, James Reece Europe, Rudolph Valentino, Carlos Gardel,and Xavier Cugat, to Astor Piazzolla, and the creators and performers of shows in more recent times, such as Juan Carlos Copes, Maria Nieves, and the Sexteto Mayor of the aforementioned "Tango Argentino". This is just the tip of a fascinating iceberg, which is lovingly described by the extremely knowledgeable author. This book is a "must" for anyone with a real interest in the Tango, whether as a dancer or as an observer.
