International Guitar Festival in Argentina
October 7 · Level 5 · #1333 of 2238
Argentina’s International Guitar Festival brings performers and audiences together around an instrument equally at home in intimate recitals and lively folk music. It offers a chance to hear Argentine traditions alongside repertoire from other countries.
How it is celebrated: audiences attend guest concerts featuring soloists and ensembles. Artist encounters and masterclasses offer a closer look at playing techniques and musical interpretation.
The guitar also accompanies Argentina’s payadores, singers who improvise verse as they play. Their performances can become musical contests in which singers answer one another.
