Last Tango in Compton - The Making of VW Polo Advert (UK)

The company is going to launch a massive social media activity, which includes making of and behind the scenes footage, to support the launch of the expressive advert, in which Argentinean Tango world champion Gasper Godoy and his partner Manuella Rossi, the world number two, are performing a hot dance to Roc C’s “Don’t Stop.” The spot dubbed “Last Tango in Compton” was directed by Jonathan Glazer, whose credits include the Guinness Surfer, Sony Paint and Levi’s Odyssey campaigns. 

 Song: "Don't Stop" by Roc C, featuring Oh No and Pok Dogg

Abrazo de Tango :: Selling Diamonds with Tango

More co-opting of "El Tango" for commercial/advertising purposes. The Belgium Diamond House offers the D'Agostino Duet, the Donato Solitaire, the Fresedo Duet. "Tango is more than a dance...it's a love story...that begins with an embrace..."

I have to laugh. But I guess we should be happy that people/companies are doing this. I suppose. Perhaps it helps spread more tango around the world.

This is from seven years ago. I found it on Vimeo.

Hozelock Tango :: Tango Animation

Using tango the word and the dance in advertising, in theory to sell Hozelock's hose fittings/paraphernalia...?

I'll stretch and call it cultural appropriation.

Lots of this out there in the world...
