Argentine Folclore & Tango Day in Rotterdam - Saturday 19th November 2022
About Argentine Folclore:
Argentina has a very rich tradition of popular and folcloric music and dances.
Tango is one of them, and perhaps the most known outside of Argentina. But there are more than 70 different dances that are played and danced on the whole Argentina with a rich and ALIVE continuity since the birth of the country.
You might be surprised to know that Argentine Folclore( Zamba, Chacarera, Gato, Escondido, etc) is much bigger and popular than Tango, especially since the "boom of Folclore" in the 1950's and keeps growing.
Argentine Folclore has it's roots from 3 cultural sources: native americans, African slaves and europeans and their decendents(criollos)
In modern times Folcore is played and danced in big popular festivals(with 100.000s people each year) and small local events called "Penas Folcloricas", a mix of live and recorded music, dancing, traditional and regional food, and sometimes lessons to learn and practice the different Folc dances.
