Gardel born in Uruguay? Come on!!!

"Carlos Gardel, the giant icon of tango, was born in Tacuarembo, Uruguay in the town of Villa Eden."

This, to say the least, is a very much disputed "fact". Furthermore, I would add that the only people that maintains that Gardel was born in Uruguay are uruguayans. The rest of the world believes he was born in Toulouse, France. As to his national document stating that he was born in Tacuarembó, Uruguay, most scholars maintain that it was a forgery made by Gardel to avoid military service. Besides, I think this article should be merged in tango. Nazroon 04:55, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

I removed of the article the reference to Carlos Gardel, Wikipedia cannot affirm that he was uruguayan (or frenchman), it wasn't fitting. --Daniel dj87 (talk) 18:08, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Uruguayan tango is another name for Argentine Tango"

Are you kidding me? Our style has been way different from the argentine style for over a century now, you just can't say such a thing about two very different kids of tango. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.64.97.101 (talk) 10:05, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
