Please find below some useful links that explain the African rootS of TANGO.

The BLACK HISTORY OF TANGO

I would like draw your attention that TANGO is a Kongo/Kikongo corrupted term for NTANGU (=TIME).

It's time for Africans to reclaim their cultural heritage. The next reclaim in the pipeline is COFFEE. Africans should convince the Ethiopian government to start organizing an ANNUAL FESTIVAL of COFFEE in Ethiopia, across Africa and around the world. Today, Coffee is the most consumed non-alcoholic beverage in the world. Sadly it is associated with Arab and Western names: Arabic coffee, French coffee, Italian coffee, Belgian coffee, Dutch coffee, even Norwegian or Siberian coffee, except there is no such a thing as Nigerian coffee, Kongo coffee, Ghanaian coffee, Senegalese coffee, Eritrean coffee... Please remember, the next time you will fly to Europe or North America (USA, Canada), ask for Igbo coffee with no sugar, Yoruba coffee with sugar, Hausa espresso coffee with sugar, Kongo decaffeinated coffee, Akan coffee of the day, Kikuyu coffee ...and keep the story for us and post it here. We want to hear from you.

Equally, African TVs should reclaim TANGO and start organizing TV TANGO CHAMPIONSHIP for the young, adults and the seniors.

NNN
