Argentina (English spelling)

Japanese: アルヘンティーナ - あるへんてぃーな(英語表記)La Argentina
Argentina (English spelling)

Spanish female dancer. Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Her real name was Antonia Mercé. She captivated audiences with her delicate, noble and humorous performances, and is said to have given birth to the Renaissance of Spanish dance. She was more famous in Paris than in Spain, and mainly danced modern Spanish music such as Falla's "Au voie le magique," Albéniz and Granados, but did not dance flamenco. She came to Japan in 1929 (Showa 4). Currently, the Argentina Memorial is located in Monaco.
