Great video!! What you heard and saw was Argentinian folkloric music and dance, typical of rural Argentina - as opposed to tango the urban music and dance. Tango was born in port areas of Buenos Aires at the turn of the century during the great European immigration, whereas Arg. folklore predates it and belongs to the Spanish culture of colonial times with its "gauchos" or cowboys. Folklore music goes then with empanadas, which are perceived as the main local contribution to Argentinian diet (as opposed to pizza and the rest of European additions). Just like everything typical Indian is "desi", so everything typical Argentinian is "criollo" ("guitarra criolla", "asado criollo", "empanadas criollas" etc) and just like "desi" the term is used more by the locals when abroad (for ex. an Argentinian restaurant in Miami would advertise "Asado criollo" (=meaning "really typical Argentinian"). Argentinian folkloric music and dance it's a whole world unto itself (the "other" Argentinian music besides tango) evoking the rural image of the "gaucho" who would have this impromptu dances and eat empanadas with wine at their gatherings (the "dance with ropes" you mentioned is with the "boleadoras", a typical gaucho implement used to lasoo the horses). Argentinian national book is the "Martin Fierro", an epic poem of the late 1800s narrating the fortunes of a downtroden gaucho of that name, and its supposed to embody the national spirit, its wisdom quotes being popular refrains. The music you heard is a "Chacarera", original from the provinces of Santiago del Estero and others in the NE and NW of the country - every province almost has its own typical music and dance (except south of the Pampas, as the region of Patagonia would be for Argentinians the equivalent of unpeopled and remote Alaska). The true gauchos and their culture dissapeared long ago, but folklore is still part of popular culture (specially in the interior cities) and you can experience gaucho culture at several spots in the Pampas around Buenos AIres (on many day trips programs organized for tourists) - I guess you maybe knew all that, but just in case - and welcome to Argentina! Here's an old documentary about gauchos: th-cam.com/video/IOp84nwV8h8/w-d-xo.html and a day trip experience to gaucho land: th-cam.com/video/mpGscZRd9qE/w-d-xo.html (although the one who did the video placed tango music at the end :) )
Oh wow! This is beautiful. I appreciate your time in writing all of that. I did find out about the boleadoras but the rest of the information (except the tango part) is fresh to my ears. Thank you so much. The more is travel Argentina, the more I learn. And thank you very much for a very warm welcome. Truly!
Yeah... my mic was set as a single input, so if you use earphones it will only show up on your left side. :( Watching it without earphones would be a better option. :( I just realized it after like multiple videos already. Thanks though :)
Oh yes! It’s one of my favorites now. Reallllly good. I can’t get enough of dulce de leche 😅 You can’t miss it too. There’s an ice cream place in every corner lol

It looks like fun and I was really looking forward to watching this video but... I was totally turned by the audio issue. Sorry. 😒☹
