Attempts to automate classification of music into genres have not been very successful and we may be at the limit of what is technologically possible.

Text 2

Tango is a genre of music originally from Argentina and Uruguay that shares some harmonic and rhythmic similarities with the pagode genre. Automated genre classification systems typically struggle to draw distinctions in situations like this, but Yandre Cossa and colleagues solved that problem by converting sound to images and having computers compare features of those images, an approach that demonstrates how much innovation is possible in this field.
