I was in the middle of writing "Argentinian tango", and then remembered that there is some mystery and debate surrounding Gardel's nationality and ancestry. Officially, he was born in Colombia, although some claim Uruguay and some others claim France, and although he grew up and spend most of his time in Argentina, he travelled a lot and several other countries try and claim him as their own.

Thus, I backed up and replaced "Argentinian" with "South American" in order to avoid numerous possible gotchas from Gardel-knowledgable readers (although really, by any sane standards, he was Argentinian). In doing so, I leapt over the pit of inaccuracy and banged my head on the low lying beam of redundancy. C'est la vie.

Smartarse. :)
