Looking for good jazz, blues, or underground hi-hop clubs..

[col´]

Hey everybody. My name´s col´and I just got here from Brooklyn, NY. I am going to be studying spanish in BA for the next 2 weeks. I was wondering if anybody knows some good jazz, blues, or "underground" hip-hop clubs in town( when I say "underground" i don´t mean that horrible radio/mtv autotune garbage but beats, lyrics, MCing,...y´know, the "real" hip-hop for the real heads....

Also, is there a spot in BA that´s known for graffiti...I love seeing graff in foreign countries.

Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Argentina has its own hybrids- I am sure there are some rappers who just copy US styles, but how interesting could that be?

these guys are the current argentine hip hop go to guys- a dozen or so DJ's, bands, and unclassifiable performers.

Villa Diamante is well worth checking out- he does a regular night, Viernes, at Pompeya on Tucuman 422. Its free. He does mashups of american rap with argentine beats, among other things.

King Coya (Gaby Kerpel) with Chancha Via Circuito, free, at Centro Cultural Rojas. 9pm. Corrientes 2038.
It will be great- I have seen em both live, and they are both really amazing.

Pretty much all rap in argentina is underground but there actually a few good artists.

I don't know of any "underground clubs" but if you use google you can usually find a couple of shows every weekend. I'm not sure how underground hip hop is in brooklyn these days but i've seen some sketchy crowds at some shows around here so be careful. I went to a Fuerte Apache show in San Fernando when I first got here and didn't speak very much spanish and that was one hell of an experience.
