User:Flower4689/Culture of the city of Buenos Aires

The culture of Buenos Aires shares a lot of characteristics with the culture of Rio de la Plata. Not only do they share idiomatic names (because in the region they both use the same dialect, Rioplatense Spanish), but they share such diverse roots that formed the culture of the region.The diversity is given by the large number of immigrants that came to the region during the 19th and 20th centuries, which changed Buenos Aires into a cultural melting pot.

Music
Popular music in the first decades of the 20th century was the tango. Even though it began to decline in popularity during the second half of the century, it made a resurgence in the last years in its classic style combined with electronic music. The most well known example of traditional tango is the singer Carlos Gardel, recognized not only locally, but also at an international level, both for his time and currently. Other notable tango artists have large orchestras, with composers such as Aníbal Troilo, Mariano Mores and Osvaldo Pugliese, or big songwriters like Enrique Santos Discépolo and Homero Manzi.
