Tango aside, Argentine music is mostly rooted in the rural dance traditions of the countryside, an amalgam of Spanish and immigrant Central European styles with indigenous musics. Many of these dances - rancheras, milongas, chacareras and more - are shared with the neighbouring countries of Chile, Peru and Bolivia - while others, like chamamé are particularly Argentinian. This short article focuses on the urban musics of chamamé and cuarteto, and on rural folk music. Argentina, however, also has Amerindian roots, a music explored from the 1930s on by Atahualpa Yupanqui, which grew new shoots in the politicized nueva canción (new song) movement.
