What’s happening with Country Line Dance in Argentina?

Inspired in barren terrains, crossing roads until the horizon and impressive countryside landscapes, every single musical note into a Country Line Dance song will have a drop of the real essence of USA’s warmth, where cowboys and cowgirls celebrate this joining a square dance or line dance party.

Double basses, violins, banjos and guitars created with their festive jingles a new musical style that will be tagged as western music, strongly associated with the Southern states in the United States, a reason of being for their people, representing some of the best American values. Later on, the music industry added new chords to their melodies to start with a new era where country songs were radio hits even outside the States, so new genres as Southern rock or pop-style country are considered as a part of the New Country. But line dancing is still the sharing link that never declines.

Around many countries it’s usual to find meetings where country music and dancing gathers a lot of people. Although it exists a strong bound with western culture also in all Latin America, usually countries like Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Colombia or Venezuela are more recognized beyond their frontiers. Nonetheless, Argentina can be considered one of the “dark horses” into line dance and country music: since the decade of 1970 line dance and cowboy fashion became very popular until today, and still expanding around the South American country.

In Spain we have plenty of places to live and dance like a true cowboy and cowgirl, but today we will cross the Atlantic to check on the country where everything is a ritual, from drinking ‘mate’ to watching football, because Argentina, at last, doesn’t just dance tango.

Meetings with a country soundtrack

A big stage, where several dancers in line are waiting and following the steps of the main dancer, placed at the center like an orchestra conductor; this is the spirit of Country Line Dance, a dance where don’t being stuck with someone doesn’t mean to dance alone, because every individual step is part of a perfect timing, and that is what makes line dance special.

From Tigre to Avellaneda, from Belgrano to Palermo, many boot tips are hitting at the floors. No matter your age: toddlers, youngsters and adults will enjoy the same when the music starts playing.

By the Paraná river shores will flow local bands and international groups during four days, but unfortunately the 2021 edition had to be cancelled due to the Argentinian COVID-19 restrictions, so the fest organizers decided to look forward with a great enthusiasm up to the next year, in 2022.

Enshrined artists as Martín Blebel from Wanted Band, the urban blues artist Fernando Goin or Max Country Music, one of the first country bands in Argentina and a support band for Creedence Clearwater Revival are some of the big names that led this amazing festival making history in Argentina.
