• Tango is happiness, says Argentine president Argentine President Carlos Menem has come to the defense of his country's most famous export, tango music. He insists that tango music is not sad, as many people say, but happy. "The music really represents all Argentines," Menem said at a ceremony honoring the memory of three deceased stars of the music. "This country has had great tango singers, composers, and writers." Menem has always been a fan of tango music and dance and was also close friends with the three singers (who were) remembered at the ceremony.
