Live Music on the Cheap?

[Yana&Casey]

Looking for good spots to see live music for free or cheap...especially places like bars or cafes that have rotating live music where you can chill and sip your cafe while listening...any recommendations?

It depends on what sort of live music you are looking for. Cantabile (www.revistacantabile.com.ar) is a free bi-monthly magazine that has listings for all the classical music performances around Bs As. It has news, interviews, classical music-related TV and radio items too. I would say that between two-thirds and three-quarters of the listings are 'Entrada libre y gratuita' and while I admit that I've never personally seen an international star at one of these free gigs, I have seen nationally acclaimed performers.

Whats UP BA has an Agenda every day of music- and some of it is usually free-

Konex has lots of great bands, seldom more than 20 pesos.

Club Atletico Fernandez Fierro is a very cool scene- cheap beer, hipster local crowd, and cheap.

Another place that is usually free, and sometimes has live music, is the studio of Carlos Reggazoni, the crazy found object sculptor.
His studio is on Libertador, just to the west of the Retiro train station, up a little alley. It is right next to the train museum. At least in May and June, they were doing live music on weekends, very casual, with drinks available, in a very bohemian artist studio/gallery atmosphere. A mere few blocks from the olgiarchs in Recoleta, but a world apart- almost like a beatnik gathering in the 1950's.

In Carranza 1969 (between Nicaragua and Costa Rica) my friends Los Tabaleros are playing their very good folklore - Tickets $ 15.

The show starts at 10 pm.

I think you may enjoy Clasica y Moderna -- bookshop, cafe and live jazz all in one location! http://www.clasicaymoderna.com/ They have live shows pretty much every night I believe.
