BUENOS AIRES - WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE ARGENTINE?? 

whats your background ?

Malini! you were a bit sloppy and superficial with this one. If you could mention Evita, you should have had the moral conviction to identify one strong black woman named La madre d'argentina! celebrated every November. But you brushed it all under the carpet to keep it light-hearted. I can understand that, but sometimes your outer beauty should match your moral conviction to raise awareness about very serious issues. You have the power and platform to make a difference!!

@@thinkerz8tipitina784 nope watch somewhere lese

​​@@thinkerz8tipitina784Lol, no. With all due respect, she doesn't have to cater to your personal sociopolitical whims and wishes. If you want to make a travel vlog/doc about Buenos Aires or Argentina that focuses on black identity in the city/country more centrally, do it. Malini doesn't have to delve into those aspects further if she doesn't want to, doesn't feel comfortable to, or simply doesn't care enough to do so. And moreover she shouldn't be guilt tripped by folk like yourself for the content of her videos. She doesn't have 'inner beauty' because she doesn't do a deep-dive about black history in Argentina? Madness. Let's just be grateful that we get such fantastic content here on YT for completely FREE, and leave the moral finger-wagging out of it, yeah? Peace.

@@thinkerz8tipitina784 "LA MADRE DE ARGENTINA" '????? Celebrada en noviembre ???? una mujer de raza negra ??? De que estás hablando ??? Para bien o para mal, la Argentina tuvo una escasa inmgración africana, debido a que en época colonial, el Virreynato del Rio de la Plata, organización colonial española previa a la independencia del país, era realmente pobre, a diferencia del Virreynato del Perú o del Virreynato de Nueva España, actual México, no había plantaciones de tabaco, ni de café, ni tampoco minas de plata u otros metales preciosos, Los pocos negros que habitaban el territorio, eran personal doméstico, o ayudaban en las tareas del campo. Ello se nota en la actual población en la que del total solo el 0,4% son afrondescendientes, y de ese porcentaje el 8% son nacidos fuera del paìs. No existen en la Argentina conflictos raciales, ni tampoco un sentimiento racista, respecto de cualquier étnia o religión, sin embargo, no es necesario que inventes ficciones como la de la supuesta "Madre (negra) de Argentina". Lo que es cierto es que la "Patrona de la Argentina" es la Virgen de Lujan, una imagen de la Virgen María tallada en el Brasil, de tez negra, cuyo primer custodio en la "Villa del Lujan", lugar donde se erige la Basilica de Lujan, la iglesia de mayor importancia del paìs, fue un esclavo conocido como "el negrito Manuel". Previo a brindar falsas informaciones, sería mejor que te informaras debidamente. "THE MOTHER OF ARGENTINA" '????? Celebrated in November ???? a black woman??? What are you talking about ??? For better or worse, Argentina had little African immigration, because in colonial times, the Viceroyalty of the Rio de la Plata, a Spanish colonial organization prior to the country's independence, was really poor, unlike the Viceroyalty of Peru or the Viceroyalty of New Spain, present-day Mexico, there were no tobacco or coffee plantations, nor silver mines or other precious metals. The few blacks who inhabited the territory were domestic staff, or helped with field tasks. This is noticeable in the current population in which only 0.4% of the total are of African descent, and of that percentage 8% are born outside the country. There are no racial conflicts in Argentina, nor a racist feeling, regarding any ethnicity or religion, however, it is not necessary for you to invent fictions like that of the supposed "(black) Mother of Argentina." What is certain is that the "Patron Saint of Argentina" is the Virgin of Lujan, an image of the Virgin Mary carved in Brazil, with a black complexion, whose first custodian in the "Villa del Lujan", the place where is now the Basilica of Lujan, the most important church in the country, was a slave known as "el negrito Manuel." Before providing false information, it would be better if you were properly informed.

¡Sí, señor! Great idea.

Bad idea!! She has more opportunities being a self-employed because those big tech don't deserve such talent and least she doesn't deserve be bad paid.

BBC or Netflix would certainly allow for a bigger budget and more opportunities, but being self-employed/an independent creator gives flexibility and creative freedom no company can give you. So I think it's a careful decision you have to make as I filmmaker.

We are here because Simon Reeves is useless. Malini far better.

Nahi degi bhai

exactly

Es cierto, aca una bonaerense. El video es MUY BUENO, pero es 100% porteño. No es Argentina...

​@@angelesjanza3847Somos la capital del país, acá están todas las culturas del país también. Ser porteño no es una nacionalidad ni si quiera a nivel provincial. Es simplemente una localidad donde se hace referencia a los que viven (no a los que nacen) en la ciudad de buenos aires donde se encuentra el legendario puerto caracteristico. Gracias a ese puerto el país es lo que es, cómo podés separarlo del resto como si no formara parte, o la parte más importante de la Argentina?

​@@angelesjanza3847Además si sos bonaerense qué te pensás que somos los porteños? También somos bonaerenses, somos parte de buenos aires y ustedes parte de nosotros. Repito, ser porteño es simplemente una referencia administrativa. Y culturalmente es para los que viven de la 9 de julio hasta el puerto. Ni si quiera deberian ser porteños los que viven entre la Panamericana y 9 de julio, pero se hace asi por una cuestión administrativa

That’s very touching! Thanks for sharing 🩵🤍

Glad you enjoyed it!

👏👏

That is awesome! Have fun !

this beautiful video its about buenos aires. Even so i hope you have a nice experience in our country , at least a little of it ´cause its huge..

I also noticed this about her because there is a way she feels so connected to the mediterranean culture and the people.

London is finished unfortunately. I used to love it though.

Why is that?@@raywilson3166

@@raywilson3166 there are still one or two pie mash shops around why is that then ?

​​@@raywilson3166 not enough eels Unforgiving

Thank you so much!

Thank you for that perspective, I really think we, as your dad, inherited that trait from all the immigrants that worked so hard here. My grandparents were italians and they've always worked so hard but valued family most of all.

Thank you so much! Glad to hear you enjoyed the video 🤍🤍

Thanks a lot!

Hello there, you can still visit Argentina any time you want and, hopefully, get hooked by tango! (by the way, they have a great tango scene in many of the big cities in the US). Yes, Argentina has been in permanent mess since its glory days, but for us tourists it means a few euros or dollars go a veeeeeeeeery looooooong way, as the exchange rate is so good for us. If you plan it right, and depending on how many vacation days you can take (if you're American then maybe you barely get anything, over here in Europe we're blessed with excellent work-life balance) you could visit not only Buenos Aires, but also the super spectacular Iguazu Falls in the border with Brazil and Paraguay, the impressive glaciers in Patagonia and their Welsh villages and the whales' sanctuaries, and the superb vineyards in Mendoza and the Native (Amerindian) parts of Northwestern Argentina.

Her country was Serbia then??

Por cierto, hay una gran colectividad Árabe en Argentina

@@noosi9599 Y de eslavos y europeos del Este; ruso-parlantes, polacos y ucranianos entre muchos otros.

Hay latinos también no solo europa... Somos argentinos tambien no solo descendientes de europa...

And native culture..

​@@neontm789 con latino te referis a nativo?

Happy to hear that!

Well said!

If they had the same passion for hard work as they do for meaningless activities like soccer and tango, they wouldn't be bankrupt.

Gracias!

I agree the government part, but the "working hard" is not very true when compared to other countries/places... From what I have observed the workers love their many paid holidays, syndicates, and government subsidies... Also, things take forever to get done, even simple things that should take an hour or 2 could take days...

Hmm, that sounds much like the shared experiences of many europeans, such as My papa, that left Portugal and Spain in the first decade of the 20th century and landed in the United States. I am eagerly looking forward to experiencing Argentina's culture.

Glad you like them!
