Where can I experience a folk and traditional music show in Buenos Aires?

I would be grateful for your recommendations!
 
Hello @jason99 ,

Here are some suggestions:

"Asociación Folclórica La Paila"

Located in Palermo, they offer Empanadas, Stews, Casseroles, Tamales, Picadas, Sandwiches (vegetarian too). And obviously Folklore!

Besides shows, they offer workshops and activities.




"La peña de Ricardo"

A space organized by students graduated from the Folklore career of the UNA (National University of Arts), in force since 2014, with many proposals and activities to perform. Here you can taste typical food and enjoy good music. Is in Balvanera.

You should go to the "Feria de Mataderos" as the porteños call it, there you find everything in one place, there I tasted the famous locro and I could see a folklore show, I must say I was impressed, also I could interact with the "Gauchos", you really should not miss this experience if you want to know about folklore, gauchos and traditional foods. Also, in the fair there are many original handicrafts, I bought some things to give to my friends.
 
Hi, during my stay I had the opportunity to go to the Mataderos Fair and really if you want to live the flavors of Buenos Aires you can't miss it, I saw an incredible Folklore show, the dancers very kindly allowed us to take pictures with them with that elegant dress! I really recommend it!
 
Also, in this forum you have all the information about the fair;


I love these posts, they make everything easier.

Thanks @Cariba! I am planning to return to Argentina after many years absence. I haven't been there since COVID lock down. Will check it out.
