“Tango And The Idea Of Latin America In Japan, 1910s–1940s”
Asaba’s presentation examines tango performances in Japan and the idea of Latin America in the country in relation to Argentine tango and migration between the 1910s and the 1940s. Tango was introduced in Japan in the 1910s by travelling tango dancers from the United States. Asaba reveals the ways in which the idea of tango became superimposed on an imagined “Latin America” through performances in Japan, leading many to migrate to the distant continent at this time.
