South American Trip Part 2 - Buenos Aires, Argentina

Teatro Colón - the beautiful venue we went to see Hernan Cattaneo put on his first live show

So after a couple of very nice weeks in Brazil we headed to Argentina for 10 days to catch up with our friends from Barcelona, Graziano Raffa and Nick Varon who were in Argentina to see the DJ legend, Hernan Cattaneo put on his first live performance at one of the oldest and grandest venues in South America. Graziano and Nick are also both very popular DJ's and work for the electronic music label called Sudbeat, which is owned by Hernan Cattaneo. They also had a few DJ gigs around Argentina whilst they were there, but unfortunately they started just after we were leaving.

When Graziano told me about this huge show Hernan was putting on we realised we had no choice but to visit Buenos Aires so we could witness this historic event and of course spend some special time with Graziano, Nick and all their Buenos Aires crew.

Buenos Aires is a massive city with over 13 million people in it and Argentina itself has a very big Italian influence with many people from Italy emigrating there between 1880–1920. I didn't really hear anyone speaking Italian, but it is apparently the 3rd language of the country after Spanish and English and you can definitely see a lot of similarities in the peoples characteristics.

We decided to get a nice Airbnb apartment right in the center, so we were close to all the action, but also so we had some space and good internet to tie up some loose ends from back home and do some work on the laptop.
