Early bandoneón, constructed ca. 1905. Even though present forms of tango developed in Argentina and Uruguay from the mid-19th century, there are records of 19th and early 20th-century tango styles in Cuba and Spain, [3] while there is a flamenco tango dance that may share a common ancestor in a minuet-style European dance.
