On Tour in Buenos Aires

The Arts Hour

Available for over a year

Presenter Nikki Bedi is joined on stage by Buenos Aires artists to explore the ‘Porteño’ identity of the city where inflation is soaring, tango is danced in the street and there are said to be more psychoanalysts per capita than any other city in the world. There is live music from Dante Spinetta and Fémina, stand-up comedy from Ana Carolina and interviews and discussion with actress Delfina Chaves, filmmaker Benjamin Naishtat and the live audience. Nikki’s guide for the ‘Culture Cab’ tour of the city’s artistic locations is Macarena Gagliardi Cordiviola. (Photo: Dante Spinetta performing at Ciudad Cultural Konex.
