AUTUMN FESTIVAL: WORLD MUSIC (By Hostel Buenos Aires)


Continuing with the "seasonal" festivals organized by the Buenos Aires City Government, the "Autumn Festival" has arrived. Preceded by the successful summer edition, the subject of these next weeks’s festival is World Music. A variety of local and international artists that will take the public round the world with their combination of flamenco, Celtic music, Balcanic rhythms, jazz and Portuguese fado.

The event is taking place in different theaters from April 16th to 29th. On its program, the festival includes such artists as: Goran Bregovic, Diego El Cigala, María João, Celtic Legends and The Klexmatics. Some other bands, less known but valuable ones are: Tryo (music from the Pyrenees) and Arcángel, bringing the catchy rhythms of Puerto Rico.

The four stages prepared for the festival are located in: the Buenos Aires Lawn Tennis Club (the only outdoors stage with the larger capacity) and three theaters, the Gran Rex (857 Corrientes Ave.) and Coliseo (1125 Marcelo T. de Alvear St.), and La Trastienda (460 Balcarce St.). These will work simultaneously with different programs. Resides music, there will be other artistic expressions that will seek to capture the cosmopolitan spirit of the venue.

The Autumn Festival is a must for music lovers and for those curious people who would like to listen to the sounds of the planet. The full programming can be found on the Autumn Festival web page (only available in Spanish).
