This is like a hybrid between Argentine tango and ballroom tango. I see features from both in it. it would be interesting to understand how only in Finald this hybrid version of tango has evolved. what are the historical reasons?
+padmarley It came to Finland in the early 1910 by traveling musicians from Argentine etc and quickly became popular. We Finns put our melancholic style on it and it soon became the music of choice for new singer etc. We also added accordion and drums to get a darker, more sad feeling. By the 1930's the number of Finnish Tango singers/dancers had become huge. The dance it self differ from both competitive and latin american tango's and is based around slow, slow, quick quick when it comes to steps and a lot more contact between hips etc. Think of Finnish tango as the sad person who miss their home and family and is hugging their loved ones. The lyrics is often about missing home and other sad things. I'm a Finnish man living in Sweden and I feel the lyrics in my heart. I miss my childhood home. That is the feeling you get from it.
+Viking88 Thanks man!! that was a good summary of how it has evolved. I still see some influence from Ballroom tango other than Argentine tango. Perhaps somewhere in past there was some influence. I was happy to hear from you the themes of the songs... those emotions are somewhat closer to the emotions of Argentine tango songs. As you said on the rhythm, now I can see the slow, slow, quick, quick pattern, which seems to be different to both other versions of tango. Anyways, thanks for your reply. It is very interesting how things evolve in different parts of the world can get matured through the local soul of the country. Stay happy ! :-)
The All Seeing Eye that is exactly this conversation about as to what are the differences and where are the roots and how it evolved. I already know it's different lol
Don't forget to add that tango is not argentinian only but originated on both sides of the river Plate, that is to say tango comes from Uruguay as well. In fact the author of La cumparsita was uruguaian and the birth of Gardel is not yet clearly established. This is because Uruguay used to be one of the several provinces two centuries ago and then became an independent country. It is said that Gardel was the one singer who took tango to Europe since he became famous at the same time regular commercial flights came into existence.
This dance is ballroom tango, it is one of items of international ballroom competitions. You might expect Argentina tango. Ballroom tango and Argentina tango are totally different dances. If someone has learned one tango dance, it still needs several years to learn another tango dance. I have spent many years learning both tango dances.
The dancing is elegant, graceful, smooth and beautiful. The woman is sublime.
I can't understand the language, but the beautiful tune reminds me some tango songs in Taiwan.
Lovely. I´m Finish and have lived in DK for most of my life. We still visit my beautiful country and I speak the language :D
tango
So zu tanzen würde ich auch gerne können.
Täydellinen tunnelma, kaikki kohdallaan
Just wonderful like the life in eternity on and on...

Not so, but if you insist on misleading the europeans its up to you. there is no real evidence of that. es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tango
Helvete vad bra!!!
Tango is universal!
Sanonpahan vaan Suomitango on hienoa kun se nuin tanssitaan.
Vaatii kilometrejä aikas paljon ennen kun se nuin taittuu.
