Metropolises - During an interview on Sunday (February 6th) with the Italian broadcaster RAI, Pope Francis stated that he is not a saint and that he dances the tango. In the conversation, the Catholic leader shared details of his personal life, defended immigration, and quoted a song by Roberto Carlos in the context of environmental advocacy.
Referring to the day the Pope was spotted visiting a record store last month, the interviewer asked about the pontiff's musical taste. Despite his inclination towards classical music, the cleric confessed that he is a fan of tango.
When asked if he danced tango in his youth in Argentina, he replied: "A porteño who doesn't dance tango isn't a porteño." "Porteño" is the term used for residents of Buenos Aires, where Francisco was born.
