Argentine People Of Croatian Descent
Argentines (mistakenly translated Argentineans in the past; in Spanish (masculine) or (feminine)) are people identified with the country of Argentina. This connection may be residential, legal, historical or cultural. For most Argentines, several (or all) of these connections exist and are collectively the source of their being ''Argentine''. Argentina is a multiethnic and multilingual society, home to people of various ethnic, religious, and national origins, with the majority of the population made up of Old World immigrants and their descendants. As a result, Argentines do not equate their nationality with ethnicity, but with citizenship and allegiance to Argentina. Aside from the indigenous population, nearly all Argentines or their ancestors immigrated within the past five centuries. Among countries in the world that have received the most immigrants in modern history, Argentina, with 6.6 million, ranks second to the United States (27 million), and ahead of other immigr ...

''Mujer contra mujer'' (; Spanish for "woman against woman") is the second and final studio album by the pop duo formed by Argentine singers Sandra Mihanovich and Celeste Carballo, released by RCA Records and Sony BMG in October 1990. Mihanovich and Carballo had already developed successful solo careers before joining as a duo. After collaborating on a successful show in the summer of 1987, they decided to record together and released their first studio album as a duo, ''Somos mucho más que dos'', in 1988. Around this time, Mihanovich and Carballo became romantically involved, although not publicly. Their songs included subtle references to lesbian love, and the nature of their relationship caused much speculation in the media.

Puerto Pollensa (song)
"Puerto Pollensa" is a song written by Argentine singer-songwriter and actress Marilina Ross, first recorded and popularized by singer Sandra Mihanovich, who released it as a single in 1981 and later included it in her album of the same name, released in June 1982 on MICSA, a subsidiary of label Microfón. The lyrics of the song are autobiographical and tell a love affair that Marilina Ross had on the beaches of Puerto Pollensa, a town north of Mallorca in the Balearic Islands. The ban on music in English imposed by the dictatorship during the Falklands War in 1982 greatly benefited the careers of Argentine popular musicians, among them Mihanovich and Ross. "Puerto Pollensa" received a lot of radio airplay and was a commercial success, reaching number one on '' Cashbox''s Argentine single's chart in July 1982. This context also allowed Ross to sign a record deal with Discos CBS and release the album ''Soles'' that year, which included her own rendition of "Puerto Pollensa". Never ...
