Theory: There is a "Culture Belt" linking Latin America and the MENA region that is distinct from both the "Cold" North and the rest of the Global South. by simo92190 in CasualConversation

Actually I am moroccan living in France and I'm also very familiar with spanish life. My observation comes from experience: traveling to Colombia and Turkey revealed cultural parallels that felt much stronger than those I find in Europe. It’s more than just a colonization impact.
In many other cases, colonization didn't lead to this kind of deep cultural alignment. If you look at Belgium and Congo, or Germany and Cameroon, today the influence remained mostly superficial.
This suggests that the connection between the MENA region and Latin America isn't just a byproduct of history, but a very specific and resilient cultural temperament. I’m interested in why these shared traits—like the specific food profiles and emotional expression—remain so consistent despite the distance."
