Argentina: the birthplace of tango.

 


Sexy. Think Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo in The Thomas Crown Affair. More intimate than many love scenes, with legs intertwining legs and bodies slithering bodies.

According to Wikipedia, the tango originated in the border between Argentina and Uruguay. While it had its origins in brothels and bars of ports, today it is on the list of UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists. 

Each year, Buenos Aires hosts the "Tango World Cup." This video captures the quest of two dancers as they attempt to win the competition. In my opinion, Pierce and Rene have nothing on them.
