Oh! 🥹 Thank you so much for this very touching comment! We hope to be able to "write" many more love letters! So many universes circling around one another and deeply touching cultures and communities! Very grateful for you watching the video and resonating with it

So interesting! Didn't realise peña was so different across the country! And at the same time, as you say in the video, impressive that the same dances are even practiced all throughout this massive country! Well done for the awesome overview!

[@bloomyntimes]

Thanks so much ! Yeah, it was quite a surprise for us too ! ;). And there is still much we couldn't explore on this trip, the scene in Córdoba And Santiago del Estero for example! Also wandering what is the reality of peñas down in the far South. It is quite a big country ;p. Maybe a Part 2 at some point ;). Thx again for watching and for the kind comment!

Great documentary. I'm Canadian who discovered Argentine culture through tango, it's great to learn more about diverse culture in Argentina beyond BsAs.

[@bloomyntimes]

Same journey here, went twice to Argentina for Tango and was very curious about the other big popular culture there! Glad you enjoyed it! Stay tune for more about Argentina coming up very soon :)

Love love love this! Such beautiful footage, perspective and message

Hermoso ver como la cultura y en especial del folclore argentino se difunde mas, ya que el tango solo representa a una region del pais por mas que sea reconocida a nivel mundial, nuestro pais es rico en musica folclorica ya que cada region se indentifica por el ritmo particular que tien la musica y por ende la danza.

Que bueno commentario que haces! Gracias! Si, increíble que dos culturas tan fuerte vienen del mismo país. Argentina tiene mucho a offrendir al mundo! Gracias para mira el documentario!

hey, here! I'm an Argentine folklore dancer, I am grateful, because it is a culture that unites us from the extreme north to the south. It's the same culture, with different influences. These dances have their viceregal, Jesuit Franciscan origins. Well, the Jesuits were the ones who taught music, they brought the guitar and the violin. The Bombo is an instrument of war that was used in the army, it came from Europe to here. Then the accordion and bandoneon arrived with the immigrants. Although the popular dances that are danced throughout the country are the malambo, the chacarera, the chamamé, the feeling of the Argentine people. And another curiosity, in colonial times, one of the main establishments was in Peru, that is why the Jesuits who came to Argentina from Peru to continue "colonizing the American South" also arrived with the African music of the Peruvian slaves. . That's why the zamacueca, which evolved in Argentina into the zamba and the cueca, (with our own style) then you have even more diverse folkloric rhythms like the chamamé, although similar to other dances, this dance is also born from the Jesuit rites, only Then the immigrant arrived and brought rhythms like the valseado, a community that had the most influence was the coastal region, where many dances of the chamamé style are danced, such as "rasguidos dobles, chamarrita, valseado." From the polkas of the Ukrainians, the rural polkas, the kolomeikas and the chotis were born.

Hi there ! Such an interesting comment! Thank you so much for providing even more history and background to all those discoveries. During our trip to Argentina we missed the chamamé and were very sad about that. I guess it will have to be for a part 2! ;). Couple of questions for you: 1) Is there any content in english (or with subtitles) people can go to to continue learning about Argentine Folk and dive even deeper? (We will feature more in-depth resources in our Newsletter!) 2) You seem very knowledgeable and capable to go in depth about Argentine Folk in English. Where are you based? Is there a page or something where people can find/follow you? Thanks again for giving our video a look, and for the detailed comment!

@@bloomyntimes Well, since I am a dancer and also play traditional instruments, they teach us all the colonial history and the mixture with immigration. Unfortunately there are not many translations that I can find, but there are books. Although they are in Spanish :(.. Pedro Berrutti, in his "Manual de danzas Nativas" explains many of the origins of the dances that came here as quadrillas, and many more folkloric rhythms. There are also many documentaries (also in Spanish) about Chango Spasiuk, on the encuentro channel, each of them can be found on KZbin. I leave you a video here, maybe you could activate the subtitles. automatic to English. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYe9dauZm5qamsksi=At2G1EhlGWhLW66I

Uno simplemente lo vive y disfruta sin pensarlo mucho por lo general, pero puesto asi en contexto (historico, cultural, nacional etc) y con las bellas imagenes que ustedes captaron y las reflexiones y aportes de los/as entrevistados/as la verdad que emociona, gracias y felicitaciones!

Nice video! Just one mistake: La Quebrada de Humahuaca is from Province of Jujuy, not Salta. Salta is another province of Argentina

[@bloomyntimes]

Hi Juan ! Thx for watching the video and leaving a comment! Yes you are totally right about Humahuaca being in the Jujuy Province and not the Salta Province! Sorry if I made this mistake! Can you point me out when you saw this in the video because I can't find it back! It was either a mistake of attention slipping through or a semantic mistake between the use of words such as Region (in the sense of area Vs regional) and Province. Either way, would love to find where I made the mistake in the video to make sure to avoid it in the future! Thx again!

[@NoraReinoso-f5e]

the Peña it's call the festivities...the dance is la chacarera..it's a traditional Argentina dance.

[@bloomyntimes]

You're totally right! Thx for watching the video!
