My last Monday in Buenos Aires, I went to La Bomba del Tiempo, a weekly percussion dance party. Basically, a big group of drummers play a variety of drums simultaneously, lead by a conductor. Each week, a special guest is invited, and for part of the show the guest performs with the support of the drummers. The week I was there, an electronic music group called Klauss was featured. The show was great fun and I would definitely go again if I went back to Buenos Aires. It only runs from 8-10pm, so it was a great way to start off one of my last nights in the city.

Street art in Palermo, Buenos Aires. Sort of looks like Alice Glass of Crystal Castles?

I spent Sunday “morning” (technically, afternoon; but it felt like the morning because it was when i woke up) wandering around the San Telmo street market. I found two different bands playing on the street, each consisting of 4 accordions, 3 violins, and a stand-up bass. I guess that’s what the kids are into these days. At least down here.

Some Buenos Aires catching up to do… On Thursday night, my Aussie friend Aidan suggested a bar he’d gone to a few times when he was studying abroad in BA. The bar didn’t charge a cover and had live tango music. From what I remember, it was at 331 Bulnes in Palermo, and was called Bar 12 de Octubre. Anyway, it was great - a small space packed with locals (and the odd table of gringos), good tunes, reasonably-priced beers, and a great atmosphere. It was a fantastic way to start the night, which ended at a transvestite nightclub… (no photos from the club, unfortunately.)
