Abstract
Resumen: Nacido en el arrabal bonaerense, producto de múltiples influencias socio-culturales, el tango argentino indudablemente se encuentra entre los estilos de música que mejor logran transmitir el pensamiento y el sentir de un pueblo. Este ensayo examina la función y el efecto de la experiencia transatlántica de la inmigración europea como una fuerza que moldeó y transformó la cultura fundacional argentina, redefiniendo no sólo su perfil racial, sino también gran parte de su panorama intelectual, social y cultural. Empleando como lente crítico los estudios poscoloniales y transatlánticos, el presente ensayo analiza la evolución de la música y del baile del tango con el fin de definir la compleja red de referentes que conforman la identidad del país.
Palabras clave: tango, identidad, transatlántico, poscolonial, inmigración, subalterno, lunfardo.
Abstract: Born in the slums of Buenos Aires, a product of multiple socio-cultural influences, the Argentine tango is undoubtedly among the music styles that best conveys the thought and the feeling of the people. This essay examines the role and effect of the transatlantic experience of Europan immigration as a force that shaped and transformed Argentina’s foundational culture, redefining not only its racial profile, but also much of its spiritural, social, and intellectual landscape. Through the critical lens of postcolonial and transatlantic studies, the current essay analizes the evolution of tango music and dance aiming to determine the complex network of referents that conform the country’s identity.
Keywords: tango, identity, transatlantic, postcolonial, immigration, subaltern, lunfardo.
