MIM Talks: Tango—The Music That Made Argentina

In this talk from Daniel Piper, curator for Latin America and the Caribbean, discover the diverse people, musical traditions, and instruments that shaped tango and transformed it into Argentina’s most famous musical tradition. Then enjoy a gallery getaway tour featuring related instruments from MIM’s collection.
