• Argentine traditional music

As all of our cultural courses must be booked in conjunction with Spanish classes, you can study Spanish in the morning and have your cultural option in the afternoon. If you choose the music option, our teachers will enlighten you with the traditional Argentine music. The songs, lyrics and local instruments, such as el Arpa, el Acordean, la Armonica, el Bombo, la Quena y el Bandoneon will make you an expert on the beautiful music you hear calling out to you in the streets.

In addition, learn about the influence of European music on the indigenous culture and how Argentine music came to be so well known as it is today.

Argentina is famous for its great Tango scene. The seductive Tango originated in local bars and port areas in Buenos Aires where the influence of the immigrating Europeans played a great role in its evolution. As a result, the Tango today has influences from old Milonga songs (songs of the rural gauchos), habanera (Cuban music), Polka and Mazurka (Slavic music), Contradanza (Spanish music), Flamenco (from Andalucia (Southern Spain)), as well as Italian folk music.
