So, it’s March 13th, which means it’s basically April already, which means we are basically halfway through the year, so, basically, happy 2020! I don’t have any advice to offer you on how to deal with the ever-quickening passage of time, but I can tell you about LIVE MUSIC happening this week in Buenos Aires!
Here’s our lineup for the week:
WEDNESDAY 13
AYAX Y PROK (Spain) at Niceto Club
This Wednesday at Niceto: Ayax y Prok, a duo of artists who have been writing rap for over a decade. Conscious rap that makes songs out of grievances, makes art out of revolution, never giving up on its true religion: pure, un-cut, old school rap. You can buy tickets at this link.

Infinito #10 // Diente de Madera / Emily And / Biloba
10 editions, 27 artists, 30 flyers, 200 files on a PC, hundreds of videos scattered into the ether, and many debts left to cancel – battling against the crisis, against a city that constantly exudes noise but will do anything to prohibit the sound of a musical instrument: el Ciclo Infinito. This edition will feature Diente de Madera, the folk/americana group of yanqui-argentino musician Jonah Schwartz, and solo sets by com(ex)patriot Emily And (it’s me!), and singer-songwriter Biloba, the only Argentinian in the mix. You can feel good about handing over your 150 pesos knowing that 100% of the money from ticket sales will go directly to the artists.
