ORIGIN . THE LUNFARDO WAS BORN IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY THANKS TO THE MASS IMMIGRATION OF EUROPEANS. WITH THE ARRIVAL OF FRENCH, GERMANS AND, MAINLY, ITALIANS AND SPANISH, MANY WORDS HAVE BEEN INCORPORATED INTO BUENOS AIRES SPEECH FOREIGNERS.

THE FUSION. THE CONVENTILLO AND THE BROTHEL WERE THE MEETING POINTS FOR EXCELLENCE. IMMIGRANTS AND CREOLES AGREED ON THESE SPACES AND IN THEM THE DIFFERENT VOICES BEGAN TO MERGE. FOR THIS REASON, TANGO AND LUNFARDO AROSE AT THE SAME TIME: THE BROTHEL COEXISTED A RANGE OF DANCES, CULTURES AND LANGUAGES THAT IN ITS AMALGAM GENERATED NEW MUSIC AND AN INNOVATIVE FORM TO SPEAK THAT, TODAY, ARE THE SYMBOLS THAT CHARACTERIZE THE PECULIAR IDIOSYNCRASY OF BUENOS AIRES.
