Xuefei Yang - Maxixe - Agustín Barrios Mangoré

An outdoor video of the lively Maxixe by Barrios.
The maxixe (Brazilian tango) is a great example of the good things that can evolve by being open to different cultures.
Maxixe, a popular Brazilian dance from the late 19th century, took elements from European dances like the polka, and from the Afro-Brazilian dance lundu. It's popularity spread across South America, and by the early 20th century to USA and Europe.
Without maxixe there would be no samba - it was one of the dances that contributed to this dance style.
So enjoy Barrios' take on this influential style !
