- Chacarera: Discover this lively folk style from rural Argentina, characterized by guitars, bombo drums, and energetic dance movements.
- Zamba: Experience the melancholic beauty of zamba, a slower genre with roots in indigenous and African music, featuring graceful dances with handkerchiefs.
- Tango: Learn about the iconic tango, its rich history, and its evolution from the neighborhoods of Buenos Aires to a global phenomenon.
