  Tango in Montevideo by Eckart Haerter
Tango in Montevideo, that is of course "La Cumparsita", too, the most famous tango in the world, composed by the Uruguayan Gerardo Mattos Rodríguez and almost something like Uruguay's second national anthem.
Other famous Uruguayans were, for example, Francisco Canaro and Julio Sosa (and there is the ineradicable story of Carlos Gardel being born in the Uruguayan town of Tacuarembó...
Many Uruguayan tango musicians are working permanently abroad, only now and then coming back to their home country, like the leader of the New York Tango Trio, bandoneonist Raul Jaurena, or singer and guitarist Alfredo Sadi, who lives in Buenos Aires, or bandoneonist Enrique Tellería in Barcelona, Spain.

 River Plate tango or Argentine tango?
n the tango milieu the expression "River Plate tango", is commonly used with the object of assigning to it, with imprecise origin, a common validity on both banks of the River Plate.
Another similar intention is sought regarding tango during the first two decades of the twentieth century, although such a posture is not reflected when we track down the Uruguayan presence in publication of written music or records.
If an Uruguayan witness of the period affirms that only toward 1907 the tango era began, taking into account the age of the Argentine tango, a supposed existence on both banks of the River Plate is dubious because it would imply to have had parallel developments.

The ''official history'' -- as Uruguayans ''scornfully refer to it,'' according to Espina Rawson -- holds that Gardel was born in 1890 in the southern French city of Toulouse under the name Charles Romualde Gardes, the illegitimate son of Berta Gardes.
Nevertheless, many Uruguayan fans of Gardel claim he was born not in France, but in the central Uruguayan city of Tacuarembó, 380 kms north of Montevideo, to María Delia Oliva and Colonel Carlos Escayola, the local political boss and police chief, in 1887.
According to the Uruguayan version of events, Carlos Gardel is the son of Escayola and María Oliva, and was adopted by Berta Gardes, who reportedly went to work on Escayola's estate two years after the boy's birth and took him with her when she left Uruguay.

The impact of the Broadway show “Tango Argentino” generated a deserved recognition for the elegant music of the River Plate and its performers were Argentines, some of them (the incomparable milongueros) pioneers of the popular art form.
The classic tangos of that era became a “complete art form” given that all possibilities of the genre were explored and developed.

 Rubias de Buenos Aires
Tango is popular in many countries--including, for example, Japan and Turkey--but not, so far as I know, anywhere in sub-Saharan Africa.
Note that many Argentines express admiration for Uruguayan soccer, asado, dulce de leche, and wool, so their lack of respect for Uruguayan Tango cannot be attributed to a general anti-Uruguayan attitude.
When I say that the Tango's Black roots are closer to the surface in Montevideo than in Buenos Aires, I do not mean to suggest that Montevidean Tango is less developed or more primitive than porteño Tango.
