* * *tango nm1. [argentino] tango;bailar tango to (dance the) tango2. [flamenco] tango flamencoTANGOTango music and dance had its origins in the poor quarters of Buenos Aires in the late nineteenth century. It sprang from the interaction between local rhythms, including Afro-Cuban elements, and the European influences brought by immigrants, especially from Spain and Italy. In its early stages, tango was rooted in the working-class life of Buenos Aires, just like “lunfardo”, the linguistic melting pot that is the dialect of tango culture. Tango later gained wider acceptance, especially after it was developed into a ballroom dance in Paris, and it was popularized in songs dealing with the life and loves of the common man, and the ups and downs of city life. The greatest singer of these songs was Carlos Gardel (1890-1935), who also starred in numerous tango-themed films. Astor Piazzolla (1921-92) was one of the most outstanding players of the “bandoneón”, the accordion so characteristic of tango music. Among women singers, Tita Merello (1904-2002) was remarkable for the feisty defiance of her songs. The tango, in its many manifestations, is the living portrait of the River Plate area in general, and of Buenos Aires and its people in particular.* * *m tango* * *tango nm: tango -

This is the day when the saint whose name they have is honoured in the Christian calendar. It used to be relatively common for newborn babies to be named after the saint on whose day they were born. So a boy born on 25 July (Saint James's day) stood a good chance of being christened "Santiago". The tradition may be dying out now that parents are no longer restricted to names from the Christian calendar. In Spain, as with birthdays, the person whose santo it is normally buys the drinks if they go out with friends.* * *I- ta adjetivo1) (Relig)a) <lugar/mujer/vida> holyb) ( con nombre propio) St, SaintSanto Domingo — Saint Dominic; ver tb San
