Argentina Culture

While the natural beauty of Argentina is breathtaking, its cities, culture, and people also make the country a great place to visit and very unique. Like Chile to the west, Argentina has deep cultural ties to Europe, and this is especially apparent in Buenos Aires. The city has broad avenues, excellent museums, great theater, world class restaurants, a pulsating nightlife, plus much more. If you like big city life, there are few better places to visit anywhere in the world than Buenos Aires.

For something a little slower paced, why not visit Cordoba, the second largest city in Argentina. This city well known for its colonial architecture, churches, and universities. At one time, this city was considered the most important city in Argentina. Though no longer the dominant city of the country, it still offers the visitor the charm and grace not found in other cities its size. For visitors, Cordoba also tends to be a great jumping off point to many other attractions in the surrounding areas.

Argentina is home to a variety of musical styles and traditions, many of which are the result of a blending of indigenous and immigrant cultures. European-influenced music of Argentina includes church musical traditions from Spain and Italy.

There are two main kinds of folk music heard almost everywhere in Argentina. One is music that comes from several original indigenous cultures, the other is creole music of the Spanish colonists.

The Tango is Argentina's cultural contribution to the world. This intense couples’ dance has come to represent the essence of Latin style. The music emphasizes themes of desire, loneliness, passion, despair, and jealousy. The instruments would include an accordion, guitar, violin, piano, and string bass.
