Michelle, you're missing the point. The series is called "New Americans" because it celebrates the music of people who have come to our country from elsewhere. There have been South Americans in the US for a long time, as you point out, but THESE particular Argentine and Brazilian musicians have only recently come here and have made great contributions. The series, which encompasses a lot of WNYC shows, demonstrates that immigration is still going on and is still shaping our culture. All of the composers on this particular show are "New Americans." Well, except for Astor, who I guess you'd have to say is a "late New American."
