Argentina is known around the world for many things and one of those things is its famous rioplatense dance: the Tango. It is a sensual and highly complex dance. It is normally accompanied by music interpreted by a sextet and lyrics. Usually they are sad songs that speak about the troubles of love; however some songs also refer to politics and even incorporate some humor.
The song lyrics include a wide range of slang words pertaining to the port areas of the city of Buenos Aires. This slang, called Lunfardo, contains personalized terms, is spoken with a peculiar accent and has an obvious dropping of the "s" sound.
