The Tango is the first music heard in the film. I’m quite certain it’s not called merely "Argentine Tango" – as it is often called in materials relating to the film.

The 2nd piece is a well-known Wagner composition; don’t need that one.

Any tango experts out there?
Hmm, the samples (online at Amazon and iTunes) for Ole Guapa sound very similar, but not quite match. :(

"The tango is the famous "Ole Guapa", a traditional tango that has been recorded numerous times by different artists."
