EDITORS COMMENTS
Tango Criollo," also known as "El Afilador" (The Sharpening Man), is a captivating image that transports us back in time to the early days of tango history. This photograph, taken in 1913, showcases the authentic and raw essence of the creole dance that originated in the late 19th century in the working-class neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The image features a couple deeply engrossed in the passionate and intricate steps of the tango. The man, with a sharp blade in hand, is meticulously sharpening a knife, while his partner, with a seductive expression, leans against him, her body swaying rhythmically with the music. The couple's connection is palpable, as they move in perfect harmony, embodying the spirit of the tango. The term "Tango Criollo" refers to the traditional and authentic form of tango, which was danced by the creole population of Buenos Aires. This style of tango was characterized by its raw, sensual, and improvisational nature, and was often performed in the milongas (social dance halls) of the city. The photograph is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of the tango. It provides a glimpse into the past, offering us a glimpse into the lives of the people who danced the tango in its early days. The image is a reminder of the passion, creativity, and resilience of the creole community, who created this unique and enduring dance form that continues to captivate audiences around the world. This historical photograph, with its intriguing story and authentic depiction of the tango, is a must-have for any collection of dance history or Latin American culture. It is a reminder of the power of dance to transport us to another time and place, and to connect us with the people and stories of the past.
