Cool Britania in Buenos Aires

Posted on October 3, 2012 | Leave a comment

We welcomed Spring on 21 September and we have 21 British acts ready to rock Buenos Aires in the horizon!

Fancy some of the big names? Kasabian, Suede, The Maccabees, Snow Patrol, Pulp, The Magic Numbers …..spoiled for choice?

Do golden Oldies do it for you? Of course, including Rick Wakeman from Yes who is performing two nights at the Gran Rex doing two different shows with two different bands: Journey to the Centre of the Earth or The Six Wives of Henry VIII, your call? Robert Plant anyone? Marillion? One of the best guitars of Rock n Roll with Slash?

Wanna dance yourself to oblivion? Enjoy the eight British acts at Creamfields or the three at the Buenos Aires Trance 5 Festival in this case, all coming from Belfast. More? Try Anjunabeats, or DJ Shadow?

Boybands? “The Wanted” play GEBA so do avoid the area if you don’t enjoy loud shrills!

Now if you want to see more than a show, someone’s love story with Buenos Aires, you won’t want to miss Joss Stone’s third tour of Buenos Aires!

Ready, steady, go ….. get your tickets now and enjoy some of the Best of British…here, in Buenos Aires!

Posted on March 31, 2011 | 1 Comment

A peña is social event involving a variety of singers, poets, ballet and folk orchestras that present their work in confined spaces, before an audience seated at candlelit tables, which often consume wine and empanadas. Sometimes, members of the public are invited to participate spontaneously and improvised with a number of art.

Invited by the traditional music, “good vibe” and guitars, more and more people come for the night at folk clubs in the city of Buenos Aires.

Buenos Aires Hot Festival

Posted on November 19, 2010 | 1 Comment

In 2001 a rock festival called it the “Hot Festival” was organized. It set a milestone in terms of festivals in Argentina  and at that time important bands such as REM, Beck, Oasis and Neil Young played here.

10 years later the Hot Festival returns and the list of bands is no less impressive: Smashing Pumpkins, Scissor Sisters, Mika, Massive Attack, Thievery Corporation, Phoenix, Hot Chip, Pavement, Benjamin Biolay, Girl Talk, Stereophonics, Catupecu Machu and Cobra Starship are some of the bands featured on this Hot Festival.

The Buenos Aires Hot Festival will start with Smashing Pumpkins. The organization of the festival also promises lots of music, massage, nightclubs, places 2.0 (karaoke, rockband, space, Facebook and Twitter, etc) and even a motel in Costanera Sur. A must for this long weekend.

What to do on a rainy day?

Posted on September 28, 2010 | Leave a comment

What to do on a rainy day? Here’s our suggestion for today:

German Film Festival at Abasto Shopping
Tuesday 28@15.30hs
BERLIN ’36
This is the story of what happened in 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, when the German Olympic Committee decided to ban the participation of Jewish athletes.

Tuesday 28@17.40hs
Truce
Road-movie full of tension: two television journalists, a doctor and a nurse, all Germans, and an Iraqi driver embark on a dangerous, almost insane, travel by van through the desert from Baghdad to Fallujah, to get medications for a hospital.

Tuesday 28@19.40hs
Day comes
Excellent directorial debut Susanne Schneider (also wrote the script) that shows the unhealed wounds that left in the German society of terrorism by the 70.

Tuesday 28@9.30 pm: Modern? Jazz Band
Notorious
Callao 966

What if in the same concert a band starts playing modern jazz and switches to jazz of New Orleans? 
To give that answer now is the Modern? Jazz Band, a “Big” made especially for the night of Notorious by pianist and arranger Manuel Fraga.

Have you ever tried a sound massage? We did and loved it! This is why we have this new service at Home Spa.

Singing bowls (also known as Tibetan bowls) are instruments that produce harmonics sounds. Today they are employed worldwide for meditation, trance-induction, relaxation, healthcare, personal well-being and religious practice.
They reduce our tensions and arouse the sleeping part of our subconscious, predisposing health benefits.

Get an optimal state of relaxation, pleasure, elevation and harmony. Leave the noise and grit of the city behind and step into Home Spa. OMMM…
