Influences On Argentine Culture
The culture of Argentina is the result of a fusion of European, Amerindian and Black African elements. The impact of European immigration on both Argentina's culture and demography has largely become mainstream and is shared by most Argentines, being no longer perceived as a separate "European" culture. Even those traditional elements that have Amerindian origin - as the mate and the Andean music- or Criollo origin - the asado, the empanadas, and some genres within folklore music - were rapidly adopted, assimilated and sometimes modified by the European immigrants and their descendants.
