The tango rules almost everthing - whole streets are full of tango accessory shops, some quartiers seem dedicated to the tango and everything that goes with it - restaurants, bars etc - and only come to life at night.
The culture of the tango (which was originally outlawed) rose from poverty and massively male dominated immigration at the turn of the 20th century only to become acceptable around the 1930s.
Portenos (as the inhabitants of Buenos Aires call themselves) of all ages still start dancing on the streets whenever the music and the mood catches them.
