This magnificent clock TANGO ARGENTINO features an Argentinean dancing couple in one of the emblematic positions of this dance born in the suburbs of Buenos Aires. The couple is accompanied by music from the bandoneon, the characteristic little accordion created by Heinrich Band, whose Band-Union company gave its name to the bandoneón. 

The word Tango has its roots in the Bantu language, Ngo meaning leopard, which is also the symbol of power for kings. Ta Ngo expressed this designation of kings in several ways in the Kongo kingdom. The expression crossed the Atlantic with the African slaves who, on their arrival on the banks of the Rio de la Plata, found themselves parked in areas that took the name tango, which later came to designate the places where tango dancing was born and developed.
