Reminds me of something I read recently in John Berger’s ‘and our faces, my heart, brief as photos’ (the book title). He says that nostalgia hardly exists in settled village society but becomes prominent when people start to move around. Nostalgia is the state that immigrants live in, whether for another continent, as in Argentina earlier last century, or city dwellers nostalgic for the countryside. & he adds that when there’s a sense of loss (the source of nostalgia) people turn to passionate romantic love as a new certainty and shelter. All of which seemed to throw some light on the development of tango.
