The Song Tells Its Story (Spanish: El canto cuenta su historia), sometimes The Tango Tells Its Story, is a 1976 Argentine musical film directed by Fernando Ayala and Héctor Olivera. The film tells the history of song in Argentina, with a particular history of tango. The film was made during the period of the Argentine military dictatorship.
