Welcome back to La Lista! Another week, another generous serving of live shows in the city of Buenos Aires. And considering how chilly it’s gotten the last few days, we’re thinking it’s probably a good idea to huddle close around the comforting warmth of stage lights, amplifiers, and, uh, musicians.
We really have it all this week. We’re talking chiptune. We’re talking punk rock. We’re talking folky acoustic stuff. We’re talking boppy electronic stuff. We’re talking funky danceable stuff. We’re talking nordic death metal. We’re talking karatecore. OK, we don’t have those two things, but we have a lot! And we’re laying it all out here, with easily clickable links, for your convenience.
Check out the playlist on the right to get a taste of the artists featured in this week’s agenda (at least the ones we could find on Spotify). And don’t forget to follow La La Lista on Spotify for our weekly agenda picks, Best Of playlists, and much more.
