The Pleasure Of Live Music En El Microcentro

One of the great pleasures of walking around downtown Buenos Aires is that occasional encounter with the talented musicians who often perform at the corner of Florida and Diagonal Norte. Sometimes it’s a soloist, other times it’s an entire band playing Beatles covers or original songs. Last night it was Tapy, a solo drummer who plays three nights a week at the corner. He’s usually there by around 7pm or so Monday, Wednesday & Friday. Tapy has been playing the drums for 20 years, and it shows. He has an excellent sense of timing and his percussive rhythms- as well as his constantly shaking head – will entertain and take you into another world, even if just for a few moments. You can check him out here in the latest Argentine Post video.

That corner is amazing! I’ve seen a band playing great funk with the minimum means. I remember the drums were a hi hat a snare drum and a plastick trash basket as a bass drum … and it rocked! Unbelievable!
