Oleh,

Firstly, I'm not denying any African roots of Tango.

But your reasoning here totally escapes me. How does a very modern couple dancing 
something that vaguely resembles Tango, to something that sounds like African music, 
in any way demonstrate the African roots of Tango? I can dance some Tango steps to 
an Irish jig - would that show the Irish roots of Tango?
