The Latins call pita bread “pan árabe” (Arab bread). This is basically pita bread from scratch.

Arab Bread from an Argentine Poster
This video was posted on YouTube by an Argentine poster.
What is Arab bread [pan árabe]? We know it as Pita Bread. It is interesting that the Latinos refer to it as Arab bread; and in doing so, recognize its Arab ethnic origins.
Argentina House in Israel
A site about Arabs in Latin America would not be complete without some references to Jews.
Argentina had a massive and influential Jewish community at one point. Though it has dwindled, it is still the sixth largest Jewish community outside of Israel.
This next video is by a shop called the Argentina House in Israel. They sell Argentina, and South American products in Israel. Obviously not all are kosher.
Forgive Translation errors.
But there has to be a large homesick (for South America) constituency of Latinized Jews who would buy these products in Israel.

Arabic Dances In Barra World
What is clear is that a lot of these people who embrace Arab dance are NOT Arabic.
The was done at a Syrian-Lebanese Restaurant in a shopping mall/theme park called Barra World (World Bar), in Rio de Janeiro. The Mall has streets with recreations of architecture from around the world. It was designed to look like Epcot Center.
Interestingly the entrepeneur who built the shopping mall/theme park is Joseph Koury. K(h)oury is Arabic for priest, indicating he was probably of Arabic Christian ancestry.
It seems to be a weekly show, performed every Saturday.
If you are in Rio, look it up.
