This is the coolest experience I've had in Argentina so far. A few nights ago, I went with a group of friends to la Bomba de Tiempo, a drum circle/percussion fest that goes on every Monday night at Ciudad Cultural Konex in Buenos Aires. It consists of around 15-20 percussionists assembled around a sort of conductor, who also has his own drum. The conductor gives some hand signals, but the musicians are largely improvising for much of the performance. I don't think this video quite captures the power or energy of the room, but it gives you an idea of what goes on. Make sure you see the real thing if you're ever in BA.
i bet that was insane. It looks pretty intense even on a 2x3 inch window!
