Tango has been loved and adopted in nearly every country all over the world. Being influenced by the local rhythms and music taste, it has also embraced the characteristics of the different societies that have accepted it. In Turkey, this gave the birth to a national tango culture and understanding.

The very first characteristic of the Turk Tango is that, it has been inspired deeply by the Turkish harmonies and tunes. The compositions have reflected and mixed the beloved melody and historical taste of the Turkish music evolution.

The other characteristic of Turk Tango lies in the instruments that are used in the music. The main instrument of Argentine Tango, the bandoneon (which was very hard to obtain, and play) had been replaced by the instrument called accordeon. The different tune and harmony from the accordeon have created compositions that have an infrastructure pretty different from the Argentine Tango.

One of the other characteristics can be discovered in the use of singers. Though the first Turk Tango, whose title is "Tango Turk", was an instrumental one, the strictly instrumental compositions are very rare in Turk Tango.  We can mention Orhan AVSAR, the first bandoneonist of Turkey, who has tried to use the clarinet instead of a singer for the cases he had difficulties in finding the proper voice to accentuate the tune.

However, the main difference between the Argentine Tango and the Turk Tango is in the dance itself. Argentine Tango is composed by complex and changing rhythm and steps that lead a very dynamic and accentuated dance. Turk Tango dance is composed of a repetition of the basic steps, and stands of the Argentine Tango.

Turk Tango dance did not include any milonguero styles. Indeed, the frame back in the old days was not more than a gentle touch, and a polite embrace.
