Tango Dancing Banned by Kaiser Wilhelm
Play a tango tonight in honor of Kaiser Wilhelm. There’s always Hernando’s Hideaway. Or play some German songs…how about a German tango?
Interestingly enough both tangos and Kaiser Wilhelm are mentioned in Tori Amos’ songs, and on the same album, even, although not in the same song. But I can’t think of any Tori Amos singing calls.
The tango was banned in Argentina as being politically seditious. It was also condemned by the Pope.
