A Playful Rhythm Enterprise is a company dedicated to teaching and promoting Argentine Tango in the United States.
Argentine Tango is the traditional social dance of Argentina. It is a unique cultural phenomenon expressed by dance and music; it draws its essence from the immigrant experience of generations of residents of the city of Buenos Aires. This melting pot city combined Native American, African, and European folk influences to create a South American version of Jazz or Blues culture complete with its own dialect of Spanish (lunfardo) and a centuries old oral tradition of storytelling (the payador) preserved in tango lyrics and poetry. The Argentine Tango exists as an important facet of a very rich culture.
"A strange spell of a love made rhythm
That opened paths without any laws other than hope,
A mixture of anger, of pain, of faith, of absence
Crying in the innocence of A Playful Rhythm."
"El Choclo", Angel Villoldo and Enrique Santos Discepolo.
