The maxixe ((:maˈʃiʃi)), occasionally known as the Brazilian tango, is a dance, with its accompanying music (often played as a subgenre of choro), that originated in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro in 1868, at about the same time as the tango was developing in neighbouring Argentina and Uruguay. It is a dance developed from Afro-Brazilian dances (mainly the lundu) and from European dances (mainly the polka). Like the tango, the maxixe travelled to Europe and the United States in the early years of the 20th century. The music was influenced by various other forms including the Spanish tango, lundu, polka and habanera, and is danced to a rapid 2/4 time. Pianist Ernesto Nazareth composed many Brazilian tangos; he was known for blending folk influences into his tangos, polkas and waltzes. He resisted using folk terms for his compositions; he preferred ''Brazilian Tango'' to ''maxixe''.〔(Ernesto Nazareth's Polkas and Tangos. )〕 The maxixe was one of the dances that contributed to samba dance styles (such as samba de gafieira) and lambada. Vernon Castle said of the maxixe in his 1914 book ''Modern Dancing'', "The steps themselves are not difficult; on the contrary, they are childishly simple; it is the easiest dance of all to do, and I think the hardest of all to do well."〔(Castle, Vernon "Modern Dancing" (1914) pg 107 - Accessed at the Library of Congress. )〕 Troy Kinney (1914) wrote the following about the Maxixe:〔Troy Kinney, Margaret West Kinney (1914) "The Dance: Its Place in Art and Life" (public domain, digitized by Google)〕
