I've never really been too keen on jazz, but because I love to try new things I thought a free festival featuring diverse artists from all over the world may be a nice way to spend the evening. Yes, it was a good decision. Hosted by the city of Buenos Aires with exhibitions throughout the city, we attended one of the many events held at the Recoleta Cultural Center.
I was shocked upon entering the venue. I pass this cultural center on a daily basis when bringing tour groups to the Recoleta Cemetary but I had never actually been inside. Not only is it tremendously larger than I anticipated, there are a number of halls, surrounding a beautifully painted courtyard, used for all kinds of artwork. After wandering through the many exhibitions, we found a comfy spot on the floor next to a stage featuring an American jazz group led by a woman with a deep and enticing voice. Their set lasted about an hour and I found myself completely relaxed. Outside, the temperature was perfect, watching the birds fly over, and absorbing the calm vibe from the rest of the crowd... satisfied. xo (Some of my favorite pieces are pictured here)
