Others harp back to the memorabilia of the 20s when Argentina was a world power. In suburban halls, teenagers tango to recordings made more than 50 years ago. A 24 hour TV station plays nothing but Tango - spangled dresses, fancy footwork, mirrored dance halls. Madonna s film about Evita revives the antagonism between rich and poor. The rich still see her as a money grabbing whore, her shirtless ones hail her as a saviour. Under President Carlos Menem, inflation is down and McDonald s restaurants grace the streets. But many in the shanty towns have missed out on the economic miracle. A colourful feature on Argentina past and present.
