Whether tango is thought to be exotic I wouldn’t know. What I do know is that the event at the White Tower was organized by people who already dance tango and organize a milonga in the city (which, incidentally, has a bar dedicated solely to argentinean tango) and they did it by enthousiasm and, maybe, for advertisment. If you are a tango dancer you should know that “tangueros” would find any excuse to dance. As for solidarity to Argentineans, I wouldn’t think that people thought that much. A parallelism between the two countries, of course. Greeks mention Argentina all the time. But tango in Greece goes further in the past.
