Yesterday night
Mente Argentina had another great cultural outting to hear La Bomba del Tiempo play in
Ciudad Cultural Konex. The band was bumpin, the crowd croonin, and the scene spectacular as always!
La Bomba del Tiempo is a group of percussionists directed by Stantiago Vazquez who mix stantard percussion sets with improvization which makes every show a unique experience for the crowd and the band. The mixture of lighting, sound, video, dancing, and participation has made La Bomba the popular experience that it is, and an unforgettable show every time.
Aside for the show itself, part of the Bomba experience is the location. The building, originally an old oil refinary/factory, was reappropriated into a cultural center in 1992 with a ission to promote cultural expression in the community and offer an innovative, avant-garde space for artists and art lovers. It´s located in Abasto, a cultural center of Buenos Aires known for its art, tango, theater, and most of all its true
barrio feel. Konex is host to a variety of rotating shows, performances, acts, all geared towards the same community building feel, which allows participants to truely feel conected to the works.
As always, we had a great time on our Mente outting! Need more proof? well
check out those
happy faces of our study abroad buenos aires participants! If you havent checked out La Bomba del Tiempo yet, let us know and we´ll make sure you get to experience the incredible vibe of Konex, la banda, la gente, y la buena onda en general!
