The experience

Not a class.
Not a concert.

An evening to understand something about Argentina that most visitors never get to see. Six decades of history, one song at a time. I open my home to six curious guests: a living room, hi-fi sound and the stories behind the songs.

Learn

The stories behind the songs: what was happening in Argentina, and why this music mattered so much to the people living it.

Listen

Lights down, hi-fi sound, full attention. Each song is a window into a moment in the country's history.

Connect

Argentine wine, empanadas, questions welcome, and a conversation that usually keeps going after the music stops.

The journey

Six decades.
One story.

From a song written in a café bathroom in 1967 to the bands filling stadiums today.

Today
The Legacy

How the heritage of Charly, Spinetta and Cerati lives on in the new Argentine scenes.

The listening moments

Lights down.
Volume up.

Throughout the evening we stop to listen. Every song plays in high fidelity, streamed lossless from Tidal, the way it was meant to be heard. Then we talk about what it meant back then, and what it still means today.

You don't need to understand Spanish. You'll feel it, and then you'll know why.

Three guides through time

Meet the legends.

Three artists cross the whole story and help us connect the decades.

Your host

Hi, I'm Salva.

I'm from Buenos Aires. I played guitar in bands all my life, and today I'm the drummer in several. I've also lived in Chile, Mexico, Costa Rica, Egypt, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines and Indonesia, and what I loved most was connecting with people from all over the world.

I'm not a historian. I'm someone who loves this music and loves sharing it. This is the evening I'd want to find if I were visiting Argentina, so I'm opening my home to share it: the real story, the songs that mattered, and wine and empanadas with people curious about the same things.

Is this for you?

If you know the Beatles, you're ready.

No rock knowledge needed and no Spanish required. Just curiosity about Argentina, its history and its people. Perfect for travelers, digital nomads and anyone spending a few days or weeks in Buenos Aires.

FAQ

Good questions.

Do I need to know anything about Argentine rock?

Not at all. The experience is designed for people hearing these artists for the first time. We use references you probably know, like The Beatles or Pink Floyd, as bridges.

Do I need to speak Spanish?

No. Everything is in English. The songs are in Spanish, and we'll explain what they say and why they mattered.

What's included?

About three hours of live storytelling with audiovisual material, hi-fi listening sessions (lossless, from Tidal), Argentine wine, empanadas, and a playlist to keep exploring after the night.

Where does it take place?

At my home in Palermo Chico, a quiet residential area of Buenos Aires known for its embassies and parks: a living room, hi-fi sound and six guests. We send the exact address with your booking confirmation.

Can I cancel?

Yes, with a full refund up to 48 hours before the experience.

Is it suitable for a private group?

Yes. Write to us and we'll set up a private session for your group, company or friends.
