So I’m into my final week here in Buenos Aires, and following last weeks cold cough which wrote off a few days entirely I need to make the most of it. Last night I went to “La Bomba de Tiempo”, which is a live music performance of seventeen drummers in a old warehouse that’s been converted for shows.

It is the only thing I’ve done more then once here as I had such a good time on the first occasion. I went with four friends last night who had not been and I had been raving about how good it was, luckily they all agreed after the show and had a wicked time to. All the music is improvised on the night and they have a conductor who leads them through it by a hundred different hand signals. The music is a mix of central American, African, Samba and Argentine beats. Each week they have a couple of artists join them and they play along with the artist. My first visit they had two violinists, last night they had two older guys who were incredible tango dancers, and then later a guitar player who also sang. The atmosphere and crowd are brilliant. A real mix of locals, students, professionals, travellers and one of the friendliest places I’ve been. When I return here at the end of my trip to fly home I will definitely try and go again!
