Tango is one of the world's most recognisable dances - a universal expression of love, passion and intensity.
But it perhaps isn't the first thing that comes to mind when you picture a city like Baku in Azerbaijan, a country renowned for its intricate carpet weaving, medieval architecture and traditional dances like Yalli and Asma Kasma.
At first glance, the two are an unlikely pairing: Tango was born in the port districts of Buenos Aires in the late 19th century, while Baku sits at the crossroads of Europe and Asia on the shores of the Caspian Sea.
However, the two have joined forces after Baku hosted its first-ever international tango festival, El Calor en Baku.
Baku has become a 'meeting point between Europe and Asia'
