But in Argentina, the same Argentine tango remained. By now, the dance had evolved into ballroom tango, using less body contact. Dancers soon began to travel the world and tango became popular in the great cultural cities Paris, Berlin, London, and eventually New York. At the time, the outskirts of Buenos Aires were filled with immigrants from all over the globe - particularly Europe - which influenced the development of the tango with elements from many different cultures. From 1902, when tango began to be used at the balls at the Teatro Opera (a large theatre in Buenos Aires), the Argentine tango gained in popularity throughout the city and the country. The first recorded use of the word tango in Argentina was in the late 19th century. The music used in tango is inspired by the African community in Buenos Aires, and is said to use elements from African rhythm, European music and of course South American songs. The tango derives from the Cuban dance the habanera, the Argentine milonga, and the Uruguayan candombe. Tango itself has a rich history spanning the globe the whole world seems to have fallen in love with the mesmerising dance.
