Music makes the world go round and me going the world around: Argentina

Working as a freelancer is a...well that way you can experience more things than you for the fist place thought would ever be possible. I have been doing freelancing already for 20 years. Folk, World and Rock to mention some.

Below something from Argentina to listen for you, of course...Tasty music...Can one ask more?

Well, Argentina...

 

One of the most colorful festivals ever, which I have been participating you can find in Argentina. That is the Festival Nacional de Folklore de Cosquín near Córdoba. The Festival was founded in the Happy 60's.

It is organized every year at the end of January. I visited the festival couple of years ago and as far as I know I was the only journalist from Europe there.You can read my article from Cosquín here
as well as see here the short interview which they made about me...Nice experience...

The Festival lasted one week and couple of days more, and every night the concerts began in the evening at 10 O'Clock and the last performances were early in the morning. So it is wise to sleep during the day a little bit to be able to listen to music under the full moon.

The festival venue, where the concerts are organized, is the Atahualpa Yupanqui Stage. It is located on Prospero Molina Square.

By the way...did you know that Atahualpa Yupanqui is being considered as the most important Argentinian folk musician of the 20th century?

I thought, it could now be nice for you to listen to some of my favorite Argentinian Folk Musicians. So here for you the Masters of the Voice, really so...Mercedes Sosa and Soledad Pastorutti.

And here some Tango "performed" by Leon Gieco.  He is a rock star too. Superb video, you can taste the tango in every way... Leon Gieco had a gig of more than 2 hours in the festival and what a gig it was! When I walked at 7 O'clock in the morning towards the hotel, at the time when the sun was rising, it was really nice to hear from the distance the last tunes of his concert. In that small town of Cosquín. I never forget how I felt.Wonderful.

Well to finalize this story of mine from Argentina and Cosquín here for you some Argentinian rock to listen to. For those who do not prefer Folk and World: 
Bersuit Vergarabat and "La Argentinidad al Palo", Andres Calamaro, Charly García, Gustavo Cerati.
They are all yours now. Enjoy the wide variety of Argentinian music.

And take a bite of the Argentinian Chorizo sausage with Chimichurri Sauce. Tasty-tasty! Of course with a big mug of Fernet Branca c/Coca Cola.
