Carnaval

The importance of the `barrios´ in Buenos Aires developed in the twenties when the mixed immigration wave made a new cultural identity imperative. Right around this time the `murgas´, groups of youngsters that gathered during carnaval to sing and beat drums and pans began to appear on the city streets. Now a days, during March, the tradition continues and in every `barrio´you can find a `murga´displaying its colourful rhythms, dances and costumes.

The murga group ¨Corso Atrevido¨will be in Palermo on Darwin between Gorriti and Cabrera at 7pm from Saturday 5th to Tuesday 7th of March.

In San Telmo there will me carnaval festivities and murga on Av. San Juan between Defensa and Peru.
