The impact of Argentine tango music on the human brain

Summary/Abstract: Music and music therapy have always been present and important over time.Already in prehistoric populations, both medicinal and religious or traditional rituals haveoccurred on musical backgrounds of different types of improvised and manufacturedinstruments. In most cases, they also had vocals together with the instruments, or rarely justvocals, without any musical instruments. But in any case, had music not brought, in all theseoccasions, efficiency and benefit in the therapeutic process, it would have long been abandoned.Just as well, in our modern culture and science, different ways of implementing and using musicin different types of treatments have been sought over the centuries. Even physiologicalmeasurements have shown that individual reactions to the same music are very different fromone person to another, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity and culture. And for these reasons,the personal tastes of each patient must be taken into account when listening to therapeuticmusic. (Werner, 2014, 102). In addition, there is a social aspect of Argentine tango, which helpsanyone feel like they belong to a community of people, meaningful and soulful. It is a pleasantand attractive social activity that can greatly improve the quality of life!
