History and Faiza Al Manzur Dancing at Lebanese Club, Uruguay
Posted on YouTube: Aug 5, 2016
At Punta Pocitos (a barrio in Montevideo), Uruguay.

I really recommend seeing her website and facebook page.
Miss Al Manzur can usually be found at the Lebanese Club of Uruguay.
The Lebanese Club has a long history in Uruguay. It goes back to 1905, when Uruguay set out to outlaw Asian immigration, which would have prohibited Arab immigration. By that time, yes, even that early, the Lebanese and Syrian community in Uruguay was large enough to intervene and get an exemption for Syrians and Lebanese.
This is their history page (In Spanish). Be aware, however, it is connected with the Lebanese Embassy in Uruguay.
The point is: Even as early as 1905, there was a powerful Arab community in Uruguay.
