Photojournalist Ivan Blazhev looks at the tango in Macedonia in his photo essay
As Blazhev describes, "Tracing its begining to the 1880’s in the Argentine underbelly, the houses of ill repute, Tango has had it’s periods of ups and downs. After the initial spread through all levels of the Argentine society, Tango found its way first to Paris, and then to other parts of the world. But after the coup in Argentina in 1955 and until the fall of the military junta Tango was ousted from public life by the repressive regime, and although it was never officially banned, less and less people danced especially the new young generations who took to Rock and Roll rather than Tango.”
