EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1914, showcases the passion and joy of two skilled dancers as they gracefully perform the Usobol tango. The Usobol tango, also known as the "Dockworkers' Tango," was a popular variation of the Argentine tango that originated in the port areas of Buenos Aires. The dancers in this image exude an infectious energy and enthusiasm as they execute the intricate steps of the dance. Their expressive faces and body language convey the intense connection and communication that is a fundamental aspect of the tango. The close embrace and interplay of their movements highlight the sensuality and intimacy of the dance. The Usobol tango was named after the Ushuaia Railway Company, which operated in the port area where the dance originated. The dance was said to have been inspired by the rhythmic clanging of the railway cars and the steady beat of the dockworkers' mallets as they loaded and unloaded cargo. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of the tango, which has captivated audiences around the world for over a century. The dance has evolved and transformed over time, but its essence remains the same - a passionate and expressive form of artistic communication between two people.
