What I see is a white couple doing some tango steps to non-tango
music, loosely connected to the music, in front of a mostly white
audience. I doubt this was filmed in Africa.

If it hasn't already happened, this could spark a new trend at
Alternative 'Milongas'.

The music may be African, but the dance is an imitation of tango. I
would like to see what the real Kizomba looks like.

This is not to deny the African influence on tango, but it is not
demonstrated here.
