Argentina

Argentina is a very large country on the southeast of South America, running from the polar south to the tropical north. The population is very European in ancestry, with roughly half being pure-European in background, and another large section being mostly European in background.

It has a large Arab population (9±%), but which is intermarried and assimilated into the country’s larger demographic This is because it is heavily Maronite (Catholic) Lebanese who assimilate well.

Interestingly, Argentina has around 180,000 Jews – the seventh largest Jewish population in the world – and they can be politically active.

DT – 008 – Cumparsita in Plaza Dorrego

This is an older video posted in February, 2010; though the video itself may be a bit older. While there was tango posted on YouTube today, it was not really that great, so I went back to a classic video.

The song is the world famous Cumparsita (the little parade), the most famous tango ever written. The Uruguayans like to take credits, but a good portion of the composition was by an Argentine, Roberto Firpo.

The male dancer is a local legend called “EL INDIO” (the Indian) Pedro Benavente. The lady is Virgina Uva.

There is a massive subculture to tango in Argentina (and Uruguay). Its allure is crosses generational lines. Notice the children, youth, adults and elders in the crowd. Mothers have their infants with them, starting them off at an early age.

In Metro Buenos Aires – where one third of Argentina lives – they dance on the streets, the parks, the cafés, the schools, and pretty much everywhere. Any Palestinian immigrants will quick abandon any pretense of Sharia when confronted with the ubiquity of the tango.

If you think the Palestinian Muslims will be unassimilable, you have got to be kidding.

The Tango will shatter Sharia to shreds.

The Palestinians will assimilate.

DT – 005 – Tango on Florida Street

They are in the Southern Hemisphere, so it is their winter.
But it rarely freezes or snows in Buenos Aires. The climate is similar to the Carolinas.

Calle Florida [Florida Street] is a pedestrian mall in downtown Buenos Aires.

It has been closed to traffic for about 60 years. Musicians and Tango Dancers perform there regularly for tips. The Palestinians, if they were brought to South America, would quickly assimilate over time. There is nothing like this in Araby. They would not know how to deal with it; and their façade of pious Arabic Islamism would eventually crumble.
