“Anyone who comes to Buenos Aires and hasn’t seen the tango, hasn’t been to Buenos Aires at all!” This is what Japanese tourist Kuwabara Kazumi learned on her trip to the capital of Argentina.

Kazumi,27,and her husband Taisuke Hanabusa joined the sea of dancing people during the Bueos Aires Tango fFestival and its first World Tango Dnace Championships.This year’s annual celebration was held during the first week of March.

The couple competed for the title of tango world champions against hundreds of others from Germany,China,France ,and elsewhere. “I love the tango because it is different any other dance ,”said Kazumi. She fell in love with its sexy moves 14 years ago after seeing Argentine tango dancers perform in Tokyo. “It’such a passionate dance, which brings you and your partner together in a way words can not express.”

Kazumi was one fo 4 million tourists at the festival who braved the summer heat of the southern hemisphere(半球). Buenos Aires is the birth place of tango –a city known as the “Paris of the South”. During the festival,the whole city is gripped(吸引)by tango fever. Professional dancers-men in dark suits and women 　in evening dresses-whirling on glittering stages in bars.

Tourists rush for lessons with tango masters. The more adventurous even try their steps at the dance parties, which block off entire downtown’s streets at night. These parties often last until the early hours of the　 morning .

Tango originated in bars around the ports of Buenos Aires in the late 19^th century-after the arrival of European immigrants (移民). It developed from a mix o fcultrues. Influences included the constant thythms that the African slaves beat on their drums and music from early Spanish colonists.Tango became a hit by the 1920s.And in the 1990s,the dance gained fame in American movies.

Gustavo Sorel, a tango teacher , said the dance is a local invention whose passion is universally understood. “Here one lives the tango,one listens to it and one dances it all the time. As Argentines ,this helps us preserve our roots.”
